How big a risk are you willing to take? Every change to a car increases the risk of failure. It does not mean it WILL fail but the risk goes up. The bigger the change the greater the risk.
How much can you do yourself vs paying somebody else? The fact you said you would like to SC but stay on the factory tune would indicate that you may still have some learning to do. Even if you pay somebody to install a FI system and all the supporting mods you still will need to fully understand how it all works or will end up in trouble at some point.
How big is your budget? Going FI is not as simple as slapping a $1,000 SC on and calling it a day. There are many supporting mods that you need to buy and maintain. It ain't cheap especially if you are going hunting WRXs.
@ RedFR-s can tell you all about the ups and downs of going FI.
EDIT: Dude! The answers have not changed since you last asked the exact same question.

I'm just trying to get a sense of HOW much faster. I simply used the WRX as an example. Judging by your response, clearly that is not attainable from provided tune on one of the supercharger kits.
So maybe the better question is... with provided tune and kit, what supporting mods should I also need? So I can understand how much money it would cost to realistically have a good setup knowing I don't want to get too crazy.
I'm an engineer. I can read diagrams and schematics. I can do work and troubleshoot things. I *could* do it myself. If I need to understand what to look for or at when something goes wrong, I'm sure I could figure it out. So, how often do things go wrong then? This is exactly what has me worried, because I almost get the sense that you guys talk about it like it's weekly.
