I really don't understand on how to build a safe and street boosted car for a target price of $5000+/-. My goal when I was figuring out how to make my car as safe as I can with 7-10psi without nuking the motor I managed to nearly double my target 5k goal.
I was going to do with a 57trim but seeing the turbo is only oil and not oil and water I picked up a GTX3076r as an upgrade. I
believe the trim of the GTX3076r is close to 58. The factory map sensor isn't accurate so I was forced to get a 4 bar to be safe. Oil, Oil, oil, not to get an FBM oil pan was a no-brainer. increased oil capacity + turbo = playing it safe. Now the factory clutch always bothered me because if I grind it just right I need a new transmission, it'll never be the same. So running boost with factory clutch isn't an option. Exhuast, well nameless is outrageously expensive for a header back 3" system so I have a FBM 3" coming.
All that being said I'm currently sitting at $8841. I still need to get gauges, pods, tune and maybe an oil cooler. Again this car will never see a track and will only be used around town or highways. I can kinda see how Subaru never released a boosted BRZ. The price point at the dealer would be so damn high no one would purchase it.
Soon to be a proud warranty void-er of my cars warranty and i'm happy a majority of it went to FBM!
Goal: $5000 +/-
Realistic: 10k +/-
