As has been said many times, there is definitely room with the stock chassis for this car to make 300hp and 220+ ft lbs of torque at the crank. Subaru has several boxer engines available that are turbocharged and can be dropped in this car that would not change the characteristics of the car drastically. The biggest concern would be turbo lag, but that can be managed with a smaller turbo and good tuning.

I don't recall the last WRX I drove having excessive turbo lag, but I have owned turbo cars and am fairly used to it.
