Should I go FI?

I'm mainly seeking advice on whether or not I should even consider FI. Here's all the info, and hopefully that is enough to get some suggestions on whether or not I should start investigating further.


My BRZ is a DD, it is at 10k mi and at this rate I'm going to be putting about 16k mi / year on it. I really wish it had that bit more power, but I'm not looking to go crazy, which is why I'm fairly tempted by the supercharger options.

I don't plan on tracking my car, however I do take long drives down windy backroads with my pedal mashed to the floor.

I want something that is still super reliable as a DD. I would prefer that I could get everything installed & tuned and only really need to deal with basic maintenance. I don't prefer having to regularly be working on my car and I don't plan on playing with tuning myself.

  • Should I even consider FI based on my needs?
  • If I do supercharge, which is best for mainly DD, and sometimes some fun?
  • What added components do I need other than the kit and a tune? Oil cooler? Catch can?
  • Do I need to watch my oil temp or other parameters all the time?

I apologize for my noobness but this is all very new to me. Appreciate your responses in advanced.
