It's a lot of speculation and guessing without much actual data to go on. Like the theory that the 2.0-liter n/a would be able to take 10psi of boost on a 12:1 compression motor, because the low compression turbo motors can take 20psi. Reality is that 5-6 psi is the max the motor will probably run, and that's based on our actual experience of turbocharging n/a boxer motors with 10:1 compression over the last 10 years (and n/a motors of various types over the last 38+ years).

As for HKS, it's more like they are the first to be actively promoting their kit, not that they are the only ones working on production FI for the car.
