Weren't you the guy that for months was telling everyone that your 'secret sources' told you that there was going to be a turbo BRZ?
(Still no :facepalm: smiley?)

What you *can* expect is for similar n/a torque/hp gains per mod $$$ as an S2000. I.e., meaningful additional n/a gains are going to be relatively costly...

Depends on your definition of 'tune'. Given the tech in this car, if they focused on higher, narrower output instead of the wide, fat torque curve of the stock car, 170 lb-ft should be no problem. But the tuning may require changes to the header and intake manifold lengths/diameters.
