No offense taken.
But I don't see how this is a economy of scale issue. Subaru already builds piles of slightly different engines in turbo form. Revised turbo piping or intercooler design if necessary isn't going to balloon the price point to astronomical levels. If anything using a single engine across both the WRX line and the 86/BRZ should bring prices down, not up.
A lot of people have perceived the hesitance of a factory turbo twin as desire to not pull sales away from the WRX. I think that is a more likely scenario than some insurmountable (read: expensive) engineering problem.
