If you are in search of advice, you need to be looking at these things in person, seeing what parts of the car you are looking to change, and go from there.
What is worth the price? What are your power goals, or intended use of the car? Is power just a name to you? Do you want brand name parts or bang for the buck? Do you know how the turbo kit is set up? Do you know why the words "Greddy" are on the front mount intercooler setup on the Rocket Bunny car?
Just because your friend owns a car (and you've driven it many times) doesn't mean you actually have owned the car. I did not drive the car once before I bought it, but I bought this car (and modded it) based on prior experience from driving/drifting on the track, working every week on my previous cars over the course of 15+ years.... and even then, my supposed "game plan" was thrown out the moment I bought the car.
In the end, you can do two things:
- own/drive the car, mod accordingly
- mod the car, drive accordingly
To each their own... and trust me, your "plan" isn't a plan, it sounds more like a "I have $20k to spend and here's my shopping list."

When it comes to the power I just know i want more than what the car has already, from what ive researched it seems like the turbo is plenty for me. I know brand name parts arent a priority for me but i dont want crap that will fall apart. If its reliable and isnt overpriced its good to me. I know some of how the turbo is set up. Not 100% of course because i havent actually done it. Just have information from what ive read and seen. Im not sure why the Greddy is on the intercooler. Was kinda looking for information on that. thats why i asked about it but i actually just found this so i guess that sums that up.

I dont plan on drifting and racing all over town guys. Ill probably just take it to the track now and then for fun with my friends and take it to the local car clubs and shows. Nothing serious. But you are right in saying that its more of a shopping list. It does seem that way and i have a bad habit of doing things in that fashion. I asked the questions here because, maybe its just me but, its not easy to find the exact information im looking for. If anyone knows exactly where i can find what im looking for or the answers to my questions it would be the people here. Instead of browsing the web going to hundreds of websites and watching hundreds of videos, asking BRZ owners seems to be the smartest thing i can do. Im a hands on learner. Having the car and having the parts with me in the shop, and having a person with me who knows what to do, ill learn faster than web surfing i can guarantee it. There isnt really a place i can just go to see people who already have this stuff. Its either surfing the web or hands on. Those are my options lol Im just trying to find out what i need to know, and what fits, what works, whats best, before i start my hands on learning experience.
