Read what I quoted before you edited your comment: "i dont see how they would affordably crank out more hp from this car without the use of a turbo.". You said out of the car not the engine. Throw in a FA25 and you get more power out of the car without use of a turbo.



Yes a 2.0T will provide more power than a 2.0 NA. But a 2.0T will also cost more. So for a base BRZ do you want a 2.0T that costs more or a 2.0 that costs less but provides less power (yes we all know base engine is going to be a NA engine)? For the BRZ STI do you want a 1.6T/2.0T or a NA 2.5L? In that case I will still take the NA.
