Wrx motors wont handle 500hp daily. Atleast not on pump. STi motors will barely do that.

Im going to say that engine wise, the 1.8t is stronger even with less discplacement than the ej207 in the wrx.

This is a realisitic wake up call for those of you who think the WRX motor is bulletproof. Its strong, but when matched against its peers ( 4g63, 1.8T, SR20,) its the weakest of the bunch by atleast 20%.
