Calm down. The info you posted in Dec 2019 was vague and did not contain any specific details other than the FA24 engine, which is very old speculation at this point (that possibility has been floating around the forums for a year or more).
Apart from already old FA24 speculation, your OP literally contained no other details contained in the Autocar article. You said nothing about TNGA (which is also old speculation at this point), the name GR86 (that is new), or anything else. No offence, but nothing about your post suggests insider info.
Also, your original claim that...

The BRZ Version will be the only one that will have an optional turbocharger

...does not pass the logic test. Why would Toyota commit sales seppuku that way? No-one would buy the 86 if the BRZ is the only one with a turbo. The BRZ would take the lion share of sales in such a scenario because most buyers will go straight for the turbo version with significantly more stock power and torque. Toyota are not that stupid.
If we apply some common sense, the most likely scenarios are:
1) Both the BRZ and 86 share the same turbo charged engine
2) Neither of them are turbocharged, both remain NA
3) Both are offered in two engine grades, a budget NA base version and a more expensive turbo variant.
