Hope it is changes in the internal of the engine, not some added on intake

Interesting level of detail. Seems "reasonable" and logical considering the overall previous message and direction from Subaru sources.
That said, I don't like that the article doesn't directly cite a source....(cough) This might be no more than the author grabbing at straws interpreting the N-ring photos and guessing the STI is coming next spring. Of course, it'd be nice if it was. |

Rumors, rumors rumors.... One week its this thing, on week its another..
There are several rumors that back up this rumor tough. So who knows. Maybe we never will see a turbocharged BRZ (STI). But what about all the rumors about a turbocharged model... Back and forth.. |

I called this some time ago and will continue to believe the STI version will be about a 20hp bump, better tuned suspension, brakes, wheels, and some aero additions. I'm guessing it will run about $34-35k.

Crap! Raising the rev limiter means less torque.
Why can they place the turbo like AVO did?! That "doesn"t fit" crap is retarded! |

You'll see a bunch of threads of people racing the STI version Against the regular BRZ and having even races. Big wheels, big wing, big brakes, body kit... All this crap throws away the gained 20hp. Just like the nismo version of the 370z, all the normal Z's Outrun the Nismo. |

For one, this is silly. So, 20hp is bad, but 20whp is ok? You realize that you're talking about a 6hp difference between those two numbers, right?
Add 20hp, subtract 150 lb in weight, equals awesome. But let's be honest, this article is crap without sources. I refuse to click |

why internals? they are forged from factory... actually fracture forged rods and billet drilled forged crank as well as we get super advanced Sodium filled vales in the FA20. to be honest from a mechanical stand point this engine is extremely advanced. and is strong as nails.
