Seriously, a stock block STi is capable of putting down more power than many of us could properly handle anyhow. I'd get it stock and running fine, then i'd just drive the freakin' thing and focus my money on tires, brakes and event fees. In fact, I'd say forget all this cash with forged pistons and whatnot. See if you can find a used motor or a brand new shortblock, some fresh OEM headgaskets and bolts. Then you'd have a zero mile shortblock with guaranteed OEM reliability. That's what you need more than anything right now.
Of course, I'd love to take that advice on my own car right now, but unfortunately she requires more than just body repairs. She needs a resto, pretty much.
