I'm keeping my eye on the Innovate intercooled kit.... very tempting especially if they get the CARB approval. Might be the best path for me if I want that extra HP right now.

My FRS has a special place in my heart. I considered trading it in for a monogram series but I just can't part with it at this point.

A base STi is $37,600. And a fully decked out STi is $43,000. I would expect the more powerful BRZ/FR-S to cost the same. I owe $17,000 on my FR-S. And by the time the more powerful version comes out, I will owe about $10,000. So adding $27,000 to my loan sounds terrible. NO WAY! I'll upgrade mine!

This car is not about HP by design. You bought the wrong car.

A base NA Forester is $22k. The turbo is $28k that's a $6k premium. The Impreza, WRX and STi also all have $8k spacing each other out. (18k, 26k and $35k). A factory turbo option would be at least $5k more. If they make it a package with wheels, brakes, suspension, areo kit and seats, you can count on it being $8-10k. |

I picked $ 33k, because above that, I'd much rather have an STi.

It is possible that a FI model may come out, but it probably won't happen any time soon - if it does it won't be for another 3-5 years. However, I think we can use the Legacy GT DIT as a benchmark:
86's Stats
A version with direct fuel injection and twin-scroll turbocharger was introduced in 2012 to the Japanese market for the Legacy GT DIT (direct injection turbo) sedan, and the Legacy GT DIT Touring Wagon.

I'll have my FR-S paid off soon, so I'm gonna keep that and buy a DD that's even faster than a 250HP FR-S.

Screw all that 2.5L upgrade jazz, I'm totally down on a 3.0L H6... so long as they can find a way to keep the weight down.

That DIT engine redlines at...6K RPM or something boring like that. I have no doubt it's powerful enough to propel a car to great speeds, but that just sounds boring. If I want a 6K redline, I'll buy a large displacement V8.

Would love it if they designed a small twin turbo kit for our cars. I wouldn't trade mine in, and would still just FI my car myself, but the aftermarket for our cars would explode even more than it already has.
If they released a larger displacement engine... I'd probably do a trade-in. I'd hate to spend money on mods (like FI) on a weaker platform/starting point. If they decided to implement hybrid technology, I wouldn't trade my car in, but would be very interested in seeing how that technology would impact the Electric Supercharger(s) being designed, or some sort of Electric Turbocharger design.

Mhm... maybe you're missing the point of my comment - no one prefers a low red line on this car, at least I don't as well as you. But I am not focusing on red line necessarily - I am focusing on subaru's turbo version of the engine (hence, "use as a benchmark") and then using that to build off of to use as a reference. I also get that it won't be exactly like a factory built one...
