Hey everyone! There is a new turbocharged BRZ in town

I'm sure most of you have heard of BWR and wouldn't really connect them with Subaru but as a company that makes high end turbo manifolds, they wanted to produce a turbo kit for the BRZ and its twins the FRS and GT86. Please keep in mind that I won't be able to answer everyone questions as the build is still continuing. I literally have hundreds of pics to go through still, so I'll be posting a few good ones now and I'll continue to upload more along the way with the info for each one. (Admins I'm in talks with BWR on becoming a vendor. This thread is merely the R&D of their turbo kit on my BRZ and consider it as a one off kit right now cause technically it is)

Here is some quick info on the build and parts(All fabricated parts are done in house from scratch):

VMS Vacuum Block
TiAL 38/40 Wastegate
TurboSmart 50mm Race Port BOV
BWR Strut brace with integrated catch can(A one off for my build)
Garrett T3/T4E turbo 50 trim
BWR 1.5" EL top mount turbo manifold
BWR 3" down pipe to a 3" catless exhaust to a 3" straight through Borla XR-1 muffler(another one off for my build)
Vibrant intercooler with custom end caps
BWR Coilovers
BWR Adjustable control arms are in the works
"I will continue to add items as the build continues like injectors and so forth..."

This pic was taken a little over a month ago and right away BWR started to tear down the BRZ.

Here's another angle of the car on the lift.

Here's a good picture I got of the EL Turbo manifold. This one in particular is actually the first one they made, they redid the jig and made a second manifold that is currently on the BRZ now.

Here's the exhaust Matt fabricated...

Pic of the turbo mocked up on the manifold.

Nice welds for the Map sensor by Matt the sole fabricator of the build

Quick shot of the wastegate and the dump pipe

Please bare with me on the updates of this build as I can't always stop by the shop due to my work schedule. I hope you guys will enjoy this build as much as I am

and I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my BRZ again! Cheers!
