    Hello, my name is Ryan and live in brainerd, MN. My car is a 95 impreza l that i put a 94 wrx motor and tranny in to. my swap has been running good for three years now, with minor boost issues, which i fixed this spring and now it is running very strong :D . very few mods on it intake, exhaust, fmic, and a vf28 bb turbo, here's a couple of pics;

    it didn't come with the piping, i bought a universal piping kit and one of my friends helped with all the bend and welds. i had to do some mods being the motor being a 94 it had the 90 degree turbo inlet and the sti turbo i got was the staight inlet so we had to do a little custom work to make the turbo work, it turned out very clean though. the piping itself wasn't that expensive, i have about 400 in the whole fmic setup (it helps out if you know someone who is a good welder) :D
