i had the same exact reservations about forced induction, so i took to the forums for my due diligence, as you are now. i opted to buy a supercharged 2013 35k miles after i was consoled by the great community here, specifically the "jrsc owners thread" because thats what kit the car had, so i asked questions there. i found out that JRSC is pretty much the bread and butter of FI kits for the chassis, and their proven track and daily ability put to rest all the people on the outside looking in. the JRSC kit is 6,500$ installed and dynotuned. 4k for the c30, 1k install 500 dyno, 500 ecutek+license, 750$ JRSC oil cooler. you don not need a clutch for this as its 190wheel torque. clutches are rated by how much torque they hold and i believe ours is rated to 250wtq
I look forward to seeing you in the threads
just to throw another wrench into the mix, the 2nd gen brz is coming out in a year or so, you might weigh that option, 30k new car vs 19k$ project car. id opt for used and boosted.
