1992-1996 Version 1 and 2: The first WRX and STI models used the EJ20G. The EJ20G is considered to be a good engine

For a turbo Subaru Forester, the EJ20 generally has a reputation for being more reliable and easier to work on, while the EJ25 offers more power and displacement.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
EJ20 (2.0L Turbo):
Pros:
Reliability: The EJ20 is known for being a robust engine, and head gasket issues, common with the EJ25, are less prevalent.
Twin-scroll turbo: The EJ20 turbo often features a twin-scroll turbocharger, which can provide better low-end torque and responsiveness.
Easier to work on: The EJ20 is a more compact engine, making it easier to access and work on.
High revs: The EJ20 is capable of revving higher than the EJ25.
Cons:
Less displacement: The 2.0L engine has less displacement than the 2.5L, resulting in slightly lower horsepower potential.
Unique turbo: The turbocharger used on the EJ20 is unique and may have limited aftermarket options.
EJ25 (2.5L Turbo):
Pros:
More displacement: The 2.5L engine offers more displacement, resulting in higher horsepower potential.
More common turbo: The EJ25 typically uses a single-scroll turbocharger, which is a more common and readily available design, opening up more aftermarket options.
Cons:
Head gasket issues: The EJ25 has a reputation for head gasket failures, particularly in older models.
Less revs: The EJ25 typically doesn't rev as high as the EJ20.
Which is better?
For reliability and ease of maintenance: The EJ20 is generally considered the better choice.
For power and aftermarket options: The EJ25 can offer more power and has more readily available turbocharger options.
For off-roading: The EJ25's naturally aspirated version has better low-end torque, which can be beneficial for off-roading.
