Daily driver reliability of FI frs??

[QUOTE=nodeal;2176308
Dealing with car problems really is the last thing I need right now. I am taking on a lot in my life right now and coming to the point where I am looking to get married, have kids, etc. Unnecessary car problems is just something I don't want to deal with.

Sounds like you're not prepared to pay up if something breaks on your fi kit. I wouldn't do it if I were you, and I think from the tone of your post you know it too. Anybody that tells you that it's not a risk to put a turbo kit on your car is misleading you - not saying a turbo kit can't be reliable, but too many factors to really say. You can get a really good turbo kit, and have a bad installer, or bad tuner. Boom, you're paying for a new motor. You can have a great tuner and installer, but faulty turbo kit. Boom. You can have a great everything but something else goes wrong with your car that normally would be covered by Toyota or Subaru.... Boom and guess what, they're not going to cover anything on a motor with fi. Lots of great kits out there, and you can totally dd an if few/brz, but if you're "taking on a lot" and aren't prepared to deal with small or big issues, aftermarket fi is not for you. Buy a more powerful car, or learn to love what you have (I.e. Spend your money on local track events, will get your adrenalin pumping way more than an fi kit!)

Just my 2 cents, good luck with the marriage and kids thing
