as for the spoon feed information comment.. you always have something to say about anything turbo related so i thought you might be able to shed some light.
i was under the impression that people on car forums shared information but you always seem to call people idiots and newbs but never share any of you apparent wisdom.
The trouble with it is, there is no simple answer to questions that are asked - by anyone really.
RSLC was suggested because years upon years of trial and testing with early turbo motors has been done, information is there but unfortunately its not compiled in a 'what to do' and 'what not to do list'. There are more 'do this, but make sure you do this as well' or 'my experiences with doing this'. It's what a good media outlet should be. Present the facts and information and let you decide (although, in saying this - the definition of 'fact' seems to vary between each and every major western media outlet - convenient).
Alex does know quite a great deal about turbo Subaru's amongst other cars, and I am sure he would be willing to help you and give you some information but it's literally an open ended question.
EJ20R is essentially a v3 STi motor, heads on it are also pretty spot on to V3 heads. V3 / V4 are widely regarded as the best and most aggressive STi engines pre V7 / 2001 / EJ207 / AVCS days (JDM of course).
I think there may be some information on engines on Subyclub somewhere, if not start a thread about your engine and we can all get to know it better, post up information and example builds etc...
Dylan, man you hit the nail on the head.. fairly reliable, cheap (as in im not going to spend big on STI cause its unrealistic) and not a power monster.. its what i have said in many threads about my car and my intentions.. something with a bit more oomph but not chasing big figures.
im defiantly not rushing into anything though! take my time, do my research and build to my budget but most importantly.. enjoy the trip 
Look, as long as you understand the limitations of what you are doing really. I now am reaching a stage where I see people making power figures and I want to be able to get up to that power. I have realised that my engine base is not nearly as solid or prepared for certain things so I understand the legwork to get to that point is a lot harder.
Mine has done me for a couple of years and I don't want to get rid of it, I still have things I can do to mine to bring it up to a level I believe I will be very happy with (bigger turbo, big more boost and front mount) and that will do me for another few years I reckon - at least. Car modifications really never stop in my eyes (until you buy a car that is NOT for modification) so I knew I would always be doing things, but the important thing is to think about what you want, do plenty of research and find something that you believe will be right for you. You don't want to build something up, put time and money in to it only to realise it's not what you're after.
I enjoy learning about it, but unfortunately this 'class' has a very high course fee.
