The issue is the rest of the car...
First things first, why does it have an STI engine in? check to see what the engine code is (should be able to get it off the block) as the engines differ between the wrx and sti (open v semi closed), then your clutch could suffer, gearbox is ok, not the strongest out there, brakes need sorting, there is a reason the sti's have big brakes and if you check what turbo you have on (should be a vf35 if the engine is a uk one) its capable of 350bhp, so a remap should do you.
