2.5 N/A to Turbo

I am in the planning stages of adding a turbo to my 2004 Outback 2.5 5mt. Part of my reason for doing this to my existing car is (1) cheaper insurance (2) I like the "sleeper" status of no one knowing my car has a turbo. I was thinking of going with the factory setup off of an 04 Baja Turbo or Forester XT.

Has anyone done this yet? I really don't want to do a complete motor swap, as my car only has 42k on it. OR is there a supercharger available for these cars?

Anyone have suggestions (besides trading it in for a newer OBXT)?

Cascade, have you thought about other engine options, even other brands?

We have one unfortunate soul who wrecked his newish 6cyl Outback. I don't know. Nothing wrong with a turbo, I love ours for sure!

Other than that, if you ever need a hand for an evening, let me know. I'm kind of near Boeing north.
