I also second that I think if forced induction is in the future for this vehicle is should be a supercharger. Very rarely have I ever went for Super Charger over a Turbo, but throttle response has to be very good in this vehicle for it to retain it's super sharp handling characteristics within a turn. Unless it's a smaller turbo which kicks in somewhere between 1500-2000 RPM, I don't know if I'd want it.

But given that both Toyota and Subaru are behind this vehicle's existence, it can lend to either a SuperCharger (Toyota) or Turbo (Subaru). Either way, if it's executed properly, I'd love to get one of those bad boys too. I could sure use another 50-80 HP. Not that it's terribly needed though. Just want a little more straight line Oomph.
