Subaru has to consider that everything must work fine for the standard and extended warranty periods unless they want to pay in both actual resources and reputation for cars that may fail left and right. Add to that they would have to go through this process for every market it releases the car to. These are things that consumers don't consider when they think "why can't they just simply drop a 5k turbo kit like all the aftermarket companies".

That doesn't stop companies from offering factory upgrades. Honda had a OEM supercharger available for the CRZ and Dodge had a big turbo upgrade for the SRT-4.
