Honestly, this is a more realistic option say 5 or 10 years from now.

In '94 dropping an SR20DET into a 240sx made no financial sense and was a pipe dream, wasn't too long after and we were buying front clips by the cargo load from Japan.
Who knows what the next few years will bring. The more the FA20T is produced and used worldwide, the more expensive its going to be to dedicate a line for assembling the lesser FA20. Economy of scale and in my opinion a version of the FA20T may be a wash in expense for Subaru to sell in the BRZ over the FA20.
I am glad Arg posted here and I'm not the only one who believes the FA20T is a superior engine for turbo charging.
In the short term (within a year) I could possibly see JY hunts for a build like this:
FA20T pistons, heads, complete DI, turbo, along with an aftermarket manifold/charge pipe, keeping the FA20T block, rods, crank.
Lots of possibilities.
