Default gen 1 impreza turboing

so how hard is it to get these bad boys mapped to run turbos?

of course change fuel pump, injectors, get a sti intercooler, what size turbo for 2.0 (biggest size i can run, i wana run around 12-15psi if itll handle it without changing to much internals) and i kinda want to build my own tubbing if i can find a tube bender around here or a shop that can bend it up.

anything else i am missing or do i need to do things liek change head gasket and any interanal, such as cams valves? witch to change. please dont tell me to just run a new age 2.2 or 2.5 sti motor. i just want a turbo on a 2.0na i am buying soon and i am switching to a new set up when i take it back to texas in about 1.5years

Everything is different, the clutch, loom, gearbox, engine etc, its no where near as good as a turbo out of the box for strength, hence its no good for turboing, though a few have supercharged them to around 170-190bhp, the expense is still not worth it above buying a turbo model in the first place...
