I have an FR-S.

The other day I was was at a local Subaru dealer to get a Footwell lighting kit and got to talking to one of the service managers about forced induction. He mentioned that since I have an FA20 engine and the same engine goes into the Subaru forester (FA20 + turbo) that it was possible to buy all the additional parts in order to bolt on a Subaru turbo kit to the FR-S.

I've attempted to Google this and search the forums but did not find anything. In theory his idea sounds plausible. Has anyone tried this? Would additional changes be necessary such as maybe stronger pistons, etc.?

He was not certain but mentioned the parts to be around $1800, which sounds a bit low. He also mentioned that they could do they work, but only for out of warranty vehicles.

Thought/Comments?
