Personally, I'm also of the belief that the current model's output is nearly spot-on as is (light exhaust upgrades and tuning = no more torque dip = more than adequate for my tastes).
But honestly, the more upgrades that STi rolls out, the better. These are just more OEM solutions to customize our cars to meet our individual needs (people from all over the continent with different driving routines are trying to agree on the 'perfect' setup... Lol).
The tS bits are great if you're not looking for more power. But I still hope a turbo'd STi edition comes out eventually for one selfish reason: If I ever decided to go F/I, I'd love to bolt up some factory-fit, OEM components vs. buying a tuner kit for my '13.
Can't we all just get along? ;-)

The issue is that people say these cars "NEED" a turbo when they don't. If their purpose to be built didn't include a turbo, then they don't NEED a turbo. People just WANT a turbo because they want to show off and a turbo compensates for their poor driving skills. Once that turbo spools up, most people are suddenly off the road, and that's with an AWD car. I would love to see insurance sky rocket with a turbocharged FT-86 let loose. Loose, I say!
