An RS in good condition goes from between $8000 for a '98 to $12000+ for an '01. The lack of supply of them keeps the price high (I can't wait until the day my '01 RS is worth more than an '02 WRX... suckas!!).

Because of that, if you're planning on messing with the motor anwyay, I would just aim for an older Impreza, which shouldn't be too hard to find in decent condition for $5-7000. Then you can use it daily while you save up for a motor swap. Trust me on this, it's not worth messing with putting a turbo kit on the EJ25 or EJ22. Just go straight to the best solution.
