The EBSC is not directly compatible with the 17 manual cars. Maybe the 17 autos too, but I can't be sure on that one. I am having to swap alternators to make the EBSC fit onto my 17PP car. The alternators have plugs in different places than the 13-16MY, and this wont allow the SC housing to seat all the way onto the engine. But the kit otherwise has been great to install, if your interested in hearing how the fix goes let me know. Edelbrocks R&D have not had a 17MY car yet to test on, and they mentioned that they have not cleared the kit for 17s. In fact I am the first one I know to try and install the kit onto a 17 Manual car. I believe the alternator swap will work though. I have one on order, and it should be here this week.

I totally get why some want more power and there is not a single thing wrong with them wanting it. My back get's up when people say they need more for daily driving or if they just randomly pick a level that "it must have" and have never even driven the car before. How did 300HP become the magic number that the car "needs"? There is no bad reason to want more power as long as you know why you want it and not just because some random people on the internet said they need it. Plan on street racing? Need more power (and probably bail money). Want a dedicated drag car? Need more power (and a shitload of everything else). Trying to keep up with the big boys on the straights at the track? Need more power (there will still be somebody kicking your ass). Aim is to gather as many Instagram likes as possible? Need more power (and probably better slam it as well). Can't keep up with traffic or Joe Racerwannabe said it is too low on power to be any good? Learn to drive it!

If it is an option, consider a Camaro SS or a Mustang GT; these are excellent DD/Track cars and a LOT faster if that is a goal. I have a supercharged BRZ with Ohlins and many other track mods and it is quite fast. I also have 2017 Mustang GT and stock, it blows the BRZ away on track and is just as fun.
