I'm not sure I see how this is going to work. Honestly.

I can understand swapping an entire turbo motor/wiring harness into, say, an Impreza 2.5i from an Impreza WRX. Or a Forester XT into a Forester 2.5i. Pretty much the same engine bay, same basic layout. Retain the stock cats and tune, and it's good to go.

But there is no fr-s/brz turbo model equivalent.
