Sorry ,I thought you originally said the car was a turbo version and it had a na engine fitted due to the turbo one popping .
What year / version is the car ?
Not sure if the cabin loom would have the correct number of ECU plugs and pins for a turbo ecu ?
Or if you'd have to fit a under bonnet turbo loom to get the other extra sensors that a turbo engine uses ie... b.c ,map ,maf ect
Tbh 1200 cc injectors are way overkill ,the standard the (smallest oe classic) grey 380cc injectors are good for 290hp . Yellow 440s (biggest oe classic) injectors and the 20g are good for 350hp , which is enough to break most classic engines and definitely most classic gearboxes .
Once you know what version the car is based on and you've checked both cabin /engine/under bonnet loom compatibility . I'd suggest to fit a wrx ECU of that year /version with the same injectors and turbo that the ECU runs . You can leave the fuel pump ,as the fuel pressure regulator will keep the fuel at oe pressure. But you'd need to remove any other non standard breathing mods .... ie run wrx tmic ,standard air box , catted downpipe ect .
So the car is as close to the standard map on the ECU as possible and keep the cost down while you save for a "mappable" ecu . Otherwise those injectors will bore wash the cylinders and that turbo will be too big for the internals and drivetrain..... you'll be rebuilding again before you're run in otherwise

Tbh thats what i thought recently re did the wiring and it was turbod at some point but looks like they stapped a turbo to a na engine with just an sti pump probably why has a different engine and when i went to order stuff from auto store said it was was turbo this car has a very sorted history 😕 its seems to be a 1999 sport wagon and i can always wire in plugs thats not a porblem or repining its a map car oh ok i was given them but can always get a set of yellows its got exedy stage 2 wrx clutch came with the car and yet its a na sports box but looking to get a 6 speed from a guy that got rear ended just would need to get right rear r160 with same fdr well i can alwas wield in a cat thats no problem and i can fab up an air box as trying to find a stock 1 aint easy i have a vf 32 off a legecy single scroll but thats a non waste gated turbo if thst will work i have a boost refrence fuel reg already i can get hold of an sti ecu from the same year thats also off a map car just trying to see if it the right manufacturer
