Used or second hand subaru engines
Don't bother. Get yours rebuilt. Second hand engines are just that. No way to prove the history or how good it is. My Type R ran fine when I bought it. 6 months later crank bearings failed. You can never tell what's going on unless it's rebuilt from the crank up.

What oil and filter do people use?
oil is hotly debated so shall leave that be, as far as filter, genuin subaru one everytime even on high power builds
-
Oil change time
total rubbish mate, only people who say that don't have a clue about correct setup. Usual drivel I hear is people saying they keep the oil too cool. when the reality is they bought a cheap kit that didn't come with thermostatic control. aka a sandwich plate only diverts oil too the cooler when the temp goes over a certain temp..

Oil change time
tbh more sounds like it may need an oil cooler.

Mapping/tuning
ask ten people and you'll get 10 different answers, personaly wouldn't let duncan map my toaster let alone my subaru. Who ever you use make sure they have proper insurance, if its road mapped and your driving it your own insurance does not cover you

Mods to be before first re-map
Standard turbo is unlikley to make 300, so unless you wanna spend quite a bit that will be your limiting factor

Any one do Remapping???
1999 will have 440 injectors as standard. not worth swapping to 450's, if you wanna change em then need to go to 550's o also recomend changing the spark plugs for 7's and also the fuel pump

I'm looking a 2.0R 160 and I need know all about it.
Without out the turbo, imprezas are pretty dam bullet proof. Suffer from typical bodywork issues like rear arches, but with the lower power they run and run and run. Decent service history and check they havnt been crashed, but beyond that there a very goo car. Only downside to em is they arn't great on fuel even none turbo.

5,500 rev cut out ?
no probs. things like that could be a whole raft of different problems, you could do loads of things and still not fix it where as a specialist who knows them should be able to narrow it down quicker and cheaper
