2014 BRZ - Turbocharged
 

Hi

Recently started to look into getting a BRZ and came across this listing where a non-subaru dealer is selling this turbocharged BRZ. Anybody know if this is a factory option that I am not aware of, and if not, which turbokit is this, and how reliable is it?

No factory turbo or even manufacturer approved for that matter.

Can't tell what it is (not my area of expertise anyway) but turbos seem to be as reliable as the quality of their install and tune makes them. It is a crap shoot on one with no knowledge of it's background.

you got the ultra rare JDM motor

u mean the FA20?

he's messing with you because there's so many people who constantly ask about a factory turbo. don't worry about it.

can't tell from the pic what kit that is, but i would never by a pre-modded car. if my car is going to blow up, i want it to be my fault.

edit: it looks like it's one of the Full Blown kits. Not sure which one. http://fullblownmotorsports.com/shop...its-components

The FBM kits are generally seen as good quality kits if you're looking for big power. Some have had issues with the kits, as is bound to happen. I don't know any more than that.

Thank KCH. This one is off my list.

RUN!

looks like a full blown motor turbo, which makes it illegal. so how are they going to sell it to you? its obviously not smog legal now.

He's in Texas so it shouldn't be an issue. Still, I wouldn't buy this car without knowing its background.

Texas, bro. All they do is connect to your OBD2. You're allowed to have one "not ready" and still pass.

Yeah coupler says full blown. Placement is the same as well.

hey guys i think this is a full blown kit

Not everyone lives in California...

Everyone in the US either lives in CA, TX, or NY. Fact.
