Default Engine swap

Hi all, I've got a 1.6 Impreza wagon and I want to put a 2 litre turbo engine into it for obvious reasons but my question is how hard would it actually be to do it? I mean with the wiring loom and all, thanks in advance

Very hard , lots of work , looms , ECU , drivetrain , driveshafts etc it's doable but st double the cost of the car your replicating !

As above. I think the general consensus is to just buy a turbo car unless you have piles of time and a good garage to house both cars in whilst working on them.
