comes from the wrx, yes it will but you will need to get new adapter plates, and a new exhaust made.
what internal engine work do you have done..?

T72 or bust



(to put that picture into perspective, hardwood floor strips are usually 2"-3" wide)




But like 94 said, the turbo will fit with a new mounting plate (you might have to get a new turbo manifold). I'm not 100% on whether or not you'd need to swap exhaust parts out. If the new DP exits where your current one does, I see no reason to swap out any extra parts.

Also, you'll need re-tuned, and you might need internal work and larger injectors, depending on how much power you plan on making.

correct. Without higher power goals (which would mean built internals and a fuel system to support it) that turbo is overkill and youd probably be unhappy with it
