JDL have been making turbo kits for the 86 for a few years now alongside some 1600+ NA headers for this platform. The newest revision of their turbo kit is the best yet.

My seat selection was based on a few things. #1) I did not want fixed back buckets because I wanted my car to stay comfortable for longer drives and I didn't want to be obligated to weld in a roll cage and remove airbags as you should do to have a safe setup with fixed back seats. I've been down the full racecar interior road before and it's a slippery slope that can ruin the fun, comfort and flexibility of a street-driven car #2) I wanted seats that matched my interior that has red stitching all over, but offered integrated headrests with slots to guide my harnesses more ergonomically than the stock seats and headrests.
The Venom seats match my stock seats really well but provide a much lighter seat (20 lbs lighter than stock) with bigger, more supportive bolsters but still comfortable enough to street drive on for longer intervals and allow passengers of different sizes to also be comfortable and adjust to their preferences. Nothing super racecar or expensive, just a nice basic upgrade from stock seats.
The Schroth Profi II ASM FE 4 point harnesses are great, but I don't really need them anymore since Braum gave me a great deal on the whole lot. For now, I'm keeping the interior street friendly and plenty safe enough for HPDE use. The Braum 5 points are SFI approved and look and feel just as nice aesthetically, so I'll sell my Schroth and enjoy these Braums for a while.
