They saw this as another one of those so decided not to put the r&d into making one. If there is a turbo, they will likely make one because there are good power gains in a turbo with just a tune.
People tune their N/A cars to get rid of the torque dip and for a little bump in power (10hp). Swapping the header will get another 10hp and other bits like exhaust another 5hp or so. People have been paying tuners all over for this little bump in power so I'm not sure why they don't think it's enough. It shouldn't be all about big numbers.

Our engines are now in the WRX and Forrester, which they said they will work on if they are of the turbo variety.
