the wrx turbo is good and its small so it will spool fast but your going to have to customize the manifold to run it becasue its not going to bolt right up to a regular civic turbo manifold

If money is not an option, I say get the disco potato

(gt28rs), it woud easily get you 300 and at the same time spool fast.

all i know about scoobies is that you can run those early 80's one for thousands of miles without oil...

story: brother had an 83 gl hatch that ran for over 50k after we drained it of all oil & tranny fluid
