It was just an RS. 2.5L boxer, n/a, about 170 hp, if memory serves. I bought it fully intending to put a turbo on it, but I didn't do enough research. Turns out, it would be cheaper and easier to just do an $8000 sti engine swap than to put a turbo on what I had. By the time I got rid of it, it had 174k miles on it and was overdue for a new head gasket. Replacing the head gasket would have required pulling out the entire engine, which the stealership quoted me, you guessed it, $8000. So I said eff it and decided it was time to get a V-8, lol. My WK Hemi cost me $8500. Not a bad deal for a solid piece of Detroit muscle.
