Effectively zero experience with EJ based platforms carries over to a FRS/BRZ/86. Your Subaru specialist shop is no more experienced than any other performance shop, unless they have firsthand FA20 experience (which based on what they're telling you, they do not).

Thanks Mike, I'll look forward to reading your sticky, you're obviously very experienced with BRZs.
TurnIn Concepts is the shop and they bought a first year FA WRX for modding development. No shop BRZ I'm aware of but they have customers and their tuner has tuned a number of them.
They only advised I cool fluids for the track, which is also what you're saying. All that airflow/tuning business was me getting carried away because that's what I'd probably do- the second year, anyway, after I've learned something about the car.
Since I'd dive in with a performance package car the brakes would be ready for anything I'd need and I might even like the Sachs suspension upgrade. While I like to do mods like a lot of guys, I'm not interested in trying to re-engineer a well-designed car or throw money in the fire. This sounds promising!
