Honestly you can put anything on anything...

if you put a turbo kit on the 1.8L, yes you could put a TD-04 (WRX OEM Turbo) on it.

Thanks. I just finished talking to Paul Eklund of Primitive Racing and he said that he would help me out in getting the turbo on.

the true question would be how long your motor would last before you blow it with the boost..

Thats true. The thing is I'm going to check if I do a whole rebuild and put all new and upgrade internals in the engine it should be fine.

the 1.8 takes boost much better than the 2.5 you can run close to stock wrx boost levels for 10k-20k miles and if/when it does need a rebuild buy 2.0 pistons and rods and bore it out to 2.0 bore
