Here's an article with an interview with Tada in October from news..com.au. Don't know if they are a real news source though. If it happens the complaining on here will be crazy. I can hear it now, "Why so small of a turbo", "We wanted more power from a "real" turbo not electric". lol

"With the 86 being on sale for over three years now, Tada-san said it’s due for a fairly heavy midlife update soon. This includes its exterior look, interior and finally an update to its 2.0-litre naturally aspirated boxer engine. But if you were hoping for a standard turbocharger, it’s still looking unlikely with Tada-san saying it would be “too easy”.
Interestingly though, he was very interested in the idea of fitting an electric turbocharger to the car."
