you have it ass backwards...
the 1.8t has forged rods and forged pistons as well as a forged crankshaft from the factory...
the wrx motor i know for a fact the ej205 usdm wrx powerplant has a cast piston, and im almost positive that the rods are also cast...
i could be wrong... ill double check it...

Edit: and yes the rods are a powder metal casting...
and after doing some reading the crank also seems to be cast... so i think you were 100% wrong... pretty good lol
