What turbo kit is that and what are you using to flash the car that makes a turbo kit magically disappear?

The OP is leaning more towards the STI coz of power, and he was also asking about the audio system of the car. Im guessing he's one of those kids who like to play loud music around the parking lot and doing pulls in the freeway. I could be wrong, but California's overrun with those kind of drivers. And I wouldn't even encourage the OP to go drive his FRS in the mountains "to get the feel of the car" coz he might just stay 20 years old.

if it has to be an AWD and 4 doors Evo all the way

I recently sat in a STi (never have driven a boosted car or wrx to say before) and the first thing I can assertively say is that the steering in the BRZ is SO much better than the 15 STi. Granted, I didn't take it to the back roads because it was a test drive, but nonetheless; the steering feel in the 15 STi feels somewhat lackluster compared to the BRZ. Then again there are a lot of variables that get into hand with this like: maybe I'm not used to the car yet (only drove it for like 10 minutes), haven't / couldn't push the car (the car was 7 miles old lol), and so many other variables. To restate what others said, in the 15 STi, power was definitely there. I accidentally did a slight pull on a freeway ramp and in a couple seconds (where it would take the BRZ a couple seconds to catch up to speed with high way traffic speeds), I went from 20 mph to around 90. If I remember correctly, I did the pull at 3rd gear. Again to restate what I said earlier, the steering feedback feels odd compared to the 86- maybe slightly more negative than the BRZ. The 15 STi is a power monster though! Only thing I regret not doing that day at the dealership was forgetting to ask for a test drive on the new WRX. I think if I did, I'm pretty sure that I would choose the '15 WRX over '15 STi because of it's more economical virtues and etc (it actually produces more torque down low, which is generally where most people spend their RPM's).

In the coming years, I'll probably trade my BRZ in for a WRX Hatch / wagon (pretty freakin' sure Subaru is going to reintroduce 'em cause over 50% of their sales of WRXs are from the Hatches/ wagons) for more practicality.

Sure you do.

The 15 STI and the BRZ have the same steering ratio.

STi has a faster steering ratio 13:1, not the same.

My 05 tC had the best factory sound system in any sub 18 grand vehicle that i can think of, it even rivals some of the 40k+ vehicles in my book.

I read that one of the upgrades in the new STI is that they gave it the BRZ steering.
I just looked it up and they are both in fact 13:1 steering ratio. The STI is 2.5 turns lock to lock and not confirmed but pretty sure BRZ is the same..

Here is the thig, the 86 has unbelievable driver feedback. Its incrediably confidence inspiring I am in complete control. You lose that with a larger car with a more lax center of gravity. When i sit into my 86 i feel like I am strapping into a nimble fighter jet like the F16. When i sit behind my buddies wrx i feel like I am holding on to a bucking bronco. Different sensations for different people but I urge you to imagine this. What if that nimble fighter jet you strapped into could actually put you back in your seat or Pull away on a highway? Wouldnt that be a better car?

Very true.. good way of seeing it
