If we're talking purely the turbo version, then great. You're right, it is faster. But even with the improved performance and improved handling, it still won't be a competitive experience to the BRZ.
Also, I believe over in the FI forums someone spent about $500(?) on FA20Club's cheapest turbo and got the BRZ up to around 250-260hp with relatively minimal additional mods. Not a bad gig if we're talking mods under $700.

Yeah thats not bad, what kinda turbo? Definately a used one im guessing? Also how'd he get the charged air into the intake manifold? Did he fabricate a turbo manifold and charge piping? Or was there a straight swap (with another subbie)> or did $500 include everything he needed to get the turbo running? Intercooled? Oil fed turbo, or water and oil? Wastegate? BOV? tuned it himself? im assuming stock injectors limited his gains to 260 hp
I think there's more cost behind that then your letting on.
G85 is the gm code for Limit Slip differential on the cobalt. I have it.
