Should be able to, but space is very limited in those things. Alos, I am not sure with the factory fuel system you will be able to do anythign tho the car that will require a Alky kit. The factory fuel systems will not support more than 17PSI of boost.
There is a piggy back computer system out there for around $400 and an up pipe/downpipe combo from HKS combined with a Manual boost controller and you have an STI beat. Which means a low 13 hig 12 sec car, depending on how well you can launch it. My friend has done this and lined up against his buddy's STI at an airport strip and pulled a hood on him to about 100.
Plus something to remember, the cars resopnd a lot better to a little wheel slip at a launch. The AWD bogs the engine and prevents good turbo spool up unless you get a little slippage.
Great cars... am going to get one for my daily driver sometime.
