The car is still together and a joy to drive. We received a lot of great feedback when everyone had the chance to check it out at Scion Exposed a few weeks ago.
Regarding the price, the 15k figure being thrown around is not for the turbo kit - that is a complete turn-key forced induction build package. The package includes many items beyond a turbo kit, such as the installation of an upgraded clutch and flywheel, performance header, injectors, standalone and more. Installation of the turbo kit and dyno tuning is included. Basically, you drop the car off with us and the result is a FR-S/BRZ built right and ready to go.

For those asking about engine management...
Due to the newness and complexity of the electronics in the FR-S/BRZ with regards to CAN bus communication and direct port fuel injection, there is no plug&play ECU that removes the stock computer while retaining all factory functions at this time. We are an authorized EcuTek tuner, and while it is possible to use it exclusively, we chose to run a Haltech ecu in parallel with the stock computer for the following reasons.
With both Haltech and EcuTek on board, we are able to achieve the best possible tune to maximze power and reliability. The Haltech provides rock solid port fuel and ignition timing control, while EcuTek controls Direct Injection. There are countless other benefits such as:
VE based live tuning
On-board datalogging, viewable by the end-user
Protection safeguards such as Overboost
Advanced Boost Control, with features like boost by gear
Antilag Launch Control
End-user Connectivity and tuneability if required at no additional cost
