OP buy a short block from Full Blown or whoever. They offer a pretty sweet short block at a very reasonable price.

I agree fully, anyone who grew up playing with cars can install a turbo kit, but the tuning is un obtainable for many people. Vendors best interest is not publicizing this (I'm not pointing at FB.)

Even if you like the local shop and mechanic why screw with the possibility again? If he hasn't rebuilt a boxer engine then why let (and pay) him learn on yours? You already will have to buy a short block, reinstall the turbo kit correctly and tune it still. Why risk fucking it up a second time?

It will be costing you a pretty penny no matter which route you take, however you should be golden with fullblown doing the work AND you will have the benefit of more/safer power with their low compression engine so you win there.
Either way wish you luck.
Intersting, most shops around here get pissy when you mention you DIY and imediatly fault you for anything related or not.

And how far away is Full Blown from 99.999% of the population, that's the issue. You are very very lucky if you have a shop like that near you most of us don't

I feel like you post in every single FI thread about how there are no good tuners and/or FI is bad on this platform..

Not reading my full posts again, I have never said FI is bad on this platform. Hell I said Tada should be fired (moved is the better term) for not letting Subaru configure Subaru's FA20T for this car in the first place. Things do get complicated and beyond an average enthusiasts' budget and time commitment
at high boost levels that require built short blocks, its too early. Only a small fraction have all the cards in place to build a high boost FA20. today. It will get easier in a few years but the recipe isn't finalized and its far from cookie cutter. I'll wager you managed 2 or 3 sentences out of this post, but some do read and hopefully my opinion has helped someone's hobby from turning into a nightmare.
