R&D for FI on the second gen is just beginning, so it’s a bit early, but the good news is that you can enjoy it as it is and gradually tweak and improve it. I’ve had my 2013 brz for 10 years now, built it to my liking and will be hard pressed to chose something else the day it will decide to go… and if you do not plan to track the car, there are lots of potential concerns you just won’t have to worry about for street driving. This car can become many different things to different people, so it really depends on what you’re looking for.. it also doesn’t need much if anything to be fun. If you haven’t test driven it yet, that’d be a worthwhile next step.
there is a difference between modding for aesthetics, and modding for power.

most of what's been talked about so far is modding for power, and the known restrictions of the platform, which is what the OP wanted to know. no one said to not do it, just that this isn't a 2jz that can just simply manage 500 hp on the stock motor with only a tune, a few wrenches, and a turbo/manifold.
