Definitely sell current ride and get a wrx or sti.. Turbo charging a n/a car could be your worst nightmare.... Many pol can agree to that....

if by impreza 'r' you mean a 08/09 impreza, it may be feasible. realistically you should investigate the price of a half cut though. try japanese wholesale in wangara.

if your car resale value + half cut value is more then the equivelant model wrx, then its not worth the change over, sell up and buy a wrx.
