JDM Forester, UK Fuel?
Always advisable to remap an import, need to run it on 99ron, vpower or Tesco. Best bet give a tuner a ring and have a chat with them, they will be able to advise on how to go about it and costs

Loud when hitting boost
Changing the exhaust will change how it sounds not just the volume level, so it Sounds like your just getting more noise from the turbo. If its been checked out then I would assume that's what it is and just keep on ear on it to see if it changes.

6 speed swap hatch
Should be ok on the 5 speed at that, the hawk 5 speed onwards is alot stronger. I ran 400/420 on a hawk 5 speed for 10k miles no issues.

Upgrades/mods
decat, panel filter and map is a good option for power Suspension, roll bars, drop links for handling just depends how much you want to spend :)

Turbo n/a ej20
dont bother, sell it buy a turbo'd model. The time, effort and cost will give less performance than just buying a turbo. Bear in mind even the compression is different within the engine

Advice
leaving a car running while unattended is what it falls under. Bit like if you left it running with the keys in it. Just depends on your insurance T & C's and how generous your insurance company is feeling.

Advice
save your money, dont bother. Just drive it steady for the last few miles before you park up, far better for the car and doesnt invalidate your insurance.

Rebuild or replace my engine (for Forester 2010)?
First off are you planning to keep the car? Next question is has the engine been stripped to ascertain exactly what the damage is? it can make a massive difference to the price, worst case, block, rods, pistons, heads can all be junk and need replacing which will cost alot to replace, or if most is ok then it wont be anywhere near the cost. Also you need to decided what your future plans are, do you plan to modify it for more power or are you just wanting it back on the road?
