I got rid of mine long before I went turbo. There are a lot of aftermarket solutions for crash beam replacement.
edit: A little more info on the brakes coming in. I made a mistake in some of my research and the caliper I have coming in has too much piston area. Unfortunately they are the cheaper of the two options. So I am going to have to buy the calipers I need at a later date (Got to make sure I have the extra funds for the OFT Flex-Fuel).
OEM Piston Area: ~11,503mm2
STI Brembo: ~11,668mm2
6 Piston Brembo: ~12,233mm2 (Ordered)
6 Piston Brembo: ~10,990mm2 (Need)
6 Piston Wilwood: ~10,449mm2 (Part of previous brake plans - Used on Wilwood kits currently sold for FRS/BRZ)
4 Piston Wilwood: ~10.649mm2 (Currently Running- Used on Wilwood kits currently sold for FRS/BRZ)
8 Piston Brembo: ~11,354mm2 (Really Want)
I did run a set of wilwood calipers with a Piston Area of 12,408mm2 for a long while (Originally pictured wilwoods at beginning of build thread) due to part number error on the link I bought the Brackets from. So I should be able to use the 17z caliper as a mock up (from what I can find the two calipers I am looking at mount the same).
