Probably just a matter of time, just like the Porsche pack. MY hope is they get the BRZ, but the FRS or GT86 is fine as well.

Yeah, that high compression would pose a problem if just a S/C or T/C was thrown on as-is. I imagine if TRD/SPT/STi (whoever the factory developer will be) were to smack on a S/C on the engine as it...

Bolt-ons only, definitely agree that would be a tall order.
Bolt-ons + tune, I think 200 WHP is very doable at sea level, probably not so much at high altitudes.
