Hi,

I am a beginner to car modding (but have some theoretical knowledge) and have recently bought a 2013 GT86.

Please don't respond by saying that because I am a beginner, I should start with something smaller or less extreme. I will be doing this project over the next year and will be using it to learn about every part of the car as well as gain a considerable boost.

I am considering forced induction using Full Blown SCION FRS Stage 2 Turbo Kit as that seems to be the one providing the most horsepower gains. Am I right in thinking that for that to work, I will also need the following mods:

FULL BLOWN SCION FRS SUBARU BRZ FA20 Stage 3 Short Block
FULL BLOWN SCION FRS SUBARU BRZ FA20 Stage 3 Head Package (what is this btw?)
Grimmspeed Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ Cold Air Intake
A high airflow cat and some headers. Again I have no idea which ones yet so suggestions are welcome.
Is there anything else I would need?

I know I will also need an exhaust but I don't know which one to get. I would like to get a titanium one to reduce weight and I would like one with dual tailpipe. Preferably, it wouldn't be too loud when driving normally but will have a better sound when I accelerate. I am unable to find one meeting all of these requirements.

On top of this, I will be getting coilovers, rear diffuser, front splitter. If you have any recommendations, please post below since I haven't started researching this yet.

Furthermore, again to save weight, I would like to swap out the majority of the body with carbon fibre. Is this possible?

Just a thought, I have also seen twin charger systems and they seem to be good at eliminating turbo lag at lower rpms. Would this be good? Since I am already getting quite a powerful turbo, would this still be advantageous or will it just increase weight without increasing speed much. Also, has anyone tried NOS in a gt86. Can I use NOS with a turbo as well? Is NOS (or anything mentioned above) even legal in the UK? There seems to be different answers online ranging from yes if you tell insurance to a straight up no.

One very basic question: What tools are necessary to actually perform these modifications? Please can someone point me to a recommended tools list as this will have probably been asked before.

My final question: Is it worth just selling the GT86 and buying the GR86 when it comes out? It has a much larger engine but I don't know how much aftermarket support will exist for it.

Sorry if there are any stupid questions in here.
