To go fi your looking at say arround $3500 for a fi kit plus usuall addons like catch cans, oil cooler. Then add fitting and about $1000 for tuning plis say $600 for flex kit to ise e85 and with e85 you will usually need bigger port injectors and a fuel pump


There will alwags be extra maintainance in an fi modified car over a stock na car, be it sc belts , more frequent oil changes and fhe usually niggly little issues that come with aftermarket fi kits.


My suggestion would again be buy a factory fi auto car like wrx
Unfortunately the factory WRX CVT is made out of glass and won't take more than stock power reliably.

The cheapest solution would be to buy someone's used auto turbo BRZ/FRS, but I'm sure those are very rare.
