I hope you can see the catch 22.

If OP wants a little more power out of his car but doesn't know the difference between a wastegate and a BOV - I recommend diving in! Every cowboy has a first rodeo, and internal combustion knowledge isn't human instinct. Make mistakes, learn from them, and continue to build your knowledge and experience base.
The BRZ/FR-S and the FA20 engine is like not knowing how to swim and jumping in the middle of the Atlantic hoping to survive. If you want to learn and experiment then go pick up a $1000 car and throw an eBay turbo kit on it. The price of a quality turbo kit and the possible needed expense for a new motor should something go wrong plus the price of a new BRZ/FR-S is no kiddy pool.
