I'm not too fussed on the 2.5 engine. Original was fine for me so have enquired how much it is from the API place for now. Updates as and when I get them

A fully rebuilt engine for your Vesrion 2 STi is built using genuine Subaru parts, with the exception of the copper backed competition crank bearings which are sourced elsewhere, the engine comes with:
NEW standard-bearing-size crank & competition bearings.
4 weight matched & balanced con rods.
NEW pistons and rings & fresh bores. [ We have upgraded the STi build, to proper forged alloy pistons for 2007 onwards]
Fully overhauled cylinder heads with new valves as nec.
APi rebuilt & improved oil pump.
NEW cam belt, gaskets & oil filter.
ALL re-usable parts chemically cleaned inside & out where appropriate
STi Engines get a repainted, red crackle finish, inlet manifold
For the sum of : £1800.00
That is a fixed price and will not change no matter what we find when we strip your original engine. We prefer to rebuild the customers unit rather than create a new
engine, firstly because it is quicker for us. Secondly, It also preserves the vehicle history by keeping the engine number, chassis number and registration number as a matched set to the information held at the DVLA.
If you need fitting we also charge a fixed price ; £550.00, which includes all liquids and consumable parts. The only possible extras might be a clutch or possibly
radiator hoses or sometimes, on the 1997 onwards cars, the rubber induction hose that goes from the inlet pipe under the inlet manifold to the turbo. The jubilee clip cuts into it at the turbo end and the damage is revealed on strip down. We will advise on these parts when we have the car in bits.
We also offer two quite simple, inexpensive improvements that many people find excellent value for money.
The first is a lightened flywheel. When an Impreza clutch wears, it generates heat that damages the surface of the flywheel. Skimming can generally save most.
However, faced with having to do something to the flywheel, most people opt for a fully lightened version at a cost of £150.00. The original weighs 12 Kg's and our lightweight one weighs about 7 Kg's. It brings the benefit of less weight in the rotating parts of the engine, meaning that it will spin up quicker and be more responsive generally.
The second is 'porting the exhaust headers' [ manifold ] The original headers are deliberately made with mismatching of the ports from the cylinder head, this a crude
way of keeping power down. By matching all the joins in the headers to the adjacent pipe we can improve gas flow and speed up to the turbo and get the turbo
spinning far sooner than standard. Usually Imprezas start to build boost at about 3300 rpm, by porting the headers correctly we can start the boost from as low as
2900 in most cases. This gives a much wider spread of usable power and is genuine value for money. Cost is £150.00 and done at the time of the engine repair attracts
no labour charge. Normally the cost to fit is £105.00
We can collect your car if necessary, the cost from your postcode area is £ to be advised
Looking at £2800 from the guys mentioned above, who will also collect the car for a fee. Gonna call them Monday

Theres a guy at my brothers work who has a mate who fits Impreza engines to other cars so obviously can source engines & could obviosly fit it am waiting for a price on that as well.
Also Lee Mitchell said he would do it if I was to source an engine. So theres a few options, but the 1st one would be the 'safest' I think as it'll be rebuilt

Man that sucks, is there anything written on paperwork you have received from them or did they notify you of this when you purchased the car.

Sorry but why would you consider paying £2800 for a replacement engine? Get a second hand one, give it a good service and clean up and chuck it in..
