Owning both I would take the BRZ FA20 any day over the WRX DIT....at least for now. Even with the little twin scroll turbo in there an AVO/SC or similar equipped BRZ is way faster and with spool that isn't too far off. The FA20 we spin to 7850 as a matter of routine. The WRX hates life above 6000.
Yes you can make the WRX make some good dyno numbers in the mid range...but you're so limited with just direct injection that you just don't have the time to inject anything over 300hp at the top end.
I'm sure in a couple of years we'll have alternatives but right now this swap is not viable for most folks IMO. With the 86 platform we have it way easy...300 hp on stock fuel with plenty of upgrades, motor that holds up to 300 tq, etc...
