But when everything works together, you just think "why did i do that in the first place... when it's so perfect now?" I'm sure we could all save a lot of time and money jumping straight to the end product, but then again we wouldn't be learning so much in the process. The education is worth it.

I've been around the block a few times with several builds. If I do anything with the BRZ it will be well thought and hopefully not mess anything up lol.
You captured the bitter and the sweet aspects perfectly.

I just don't want to do it again. I'd rather pay Toyota or Subaru to get me most of the way there.

Plus, it's mucccch easier to upgrade a factory boosted motor than to boost an engine not designed for it.

Dear Toyota/Subaru -- there is a demand for this... charge me for the trouble and make it so.
