Wtf, dump the '08, hit up ebay, and get a certified '05 STi or '06-07 Evo trailered to your door. The extra money involved will be about what it takes to buy the turbo kit & the replacement motors and transmissions to make the RS even close to the STi.
Its not our fault you jumped into a car, bought it, now decided to get a turbo. For not much extra, you'd have a FACTORY setup. HMT was built by people turboing car brands that never had turbos before, or people modding their factory turbo cars. Not pinching pennies on a new car when they should have opted for the better model.
Fail. :1

To the OP, honestly I wouldn't even bother trying to turbo it. For one you'll void your warranty and for 2 it would be more trouble than it's worth with the sohc open deck design for those motors. 5-7 psi would end up splitting them apart like butter.
