Default gc8 wrx with legacy engine?

Hey guys.

Not to sure if i am posting in the right part here but let me know if i'm not.
Im a newb to the scooby scene and forum?

I'm looking at buying a gc8 wrx wagon and apparently it has a legacy engine in it. I have searched the net and forums for possibilities of what engine might of been dropped into it but i can't seem to find anything or it being done. All i know for sure is that it is a 5 speed manual 2.0 liter turbo but cant work out if its a EJ20H/EJ20R/EJ208 or others. Has anyone heard of this conversion being done before and what would be the most likely engine that has been dropped in or be able to point me in the right direction to find out. Might be able to find out from the guy selling but unsure.

Also would it be considered a good buy for 15k (starting price before negotiations)?
From what i know so far it has full race coil overs suspension setup (not a cheap one but unsure of brand, but think its worth close to 20k), low ks engine (not running crazy boost levels, i think 9psi), low ks on chassis, owned by a mechanic. I'm sure i will find out a lot more info when i get to talk to the guy.

Would greatly appreciate any info anyone has to offer.
Thanks
