We are considering the 2014 Forester for my wife.

Yes, it has the FA20 open deck block. It does not have Toyota's D4S system, but rather a Subaru direct injection system.

The internals will most certainly be different in some ways. The tune is for an AWD CUV so probably not ideal behaviour for a RWD light sports car.

The piping will definitely be different since the intercooler sits on top of the engine still but without the hood scoop.

Even if it did work, the OEM parts would probably cost 3X the cost of a good aftermarket unit, with both voiding the powertrain warranty.
