In my opinion there won't be any BRZ STi with turbo. Again, putting turbo in this car defeats the purpose of lightweight, balanced, rwd sports car that this is. I recommend you just be happy with your current car because it is more than good enough.

I think the latest rumor is that brz will discontinue and Ft-1 will be awesome.

I heard they're changing all bolts to fine pitch thread, because they will have better engagement the whole car will be stiffer, I heard it was a 0.001 g improvement around the skidpad.

Will be a tough choice whether or not to trade in.

If you´re really after a factory Subaru Turbo engine in the BRZ, the only way would be this:

Just FYI the tS does come from STi, as in the product is developed, engineered and sold from STi; therefore, that car is your BRZ STi. Turbo does not equal STi.

Nono it's not at all, cuz STI still have the EJ25

FA20F (DIT)


Japanese output:
  • Power: 296 hp (221 kW; 300 PS) at 5,600 RPM
  • Torque: 295 lb·ft (400 N·m; 40.8 kg·m) at 2,000-4,800 RPM
American output:
- Forester XT:
  • Power: 250 hp (186 kW; 253 PS) at 5,600 RPM
  • Torque: 258 lb·ft (350 N·m; 36 kg·m) at 2,000-4,800 RPM
- WRX:
  • Power: 268 hp (200 kW; 272 PS) at 5,600 RPM
  • Torque: 258 lb·ft (350 N·m; 36 kg·m) at 2,000-5,000 RPM
So, you need to get one out from Japanese Legacy GT DIT or Levorg! or it doesn't count.
