In the Dec. 10, 2012 issue, Autoweek again references an upcoming BRZ turbo. It appears in their report about the new Forester:

"The new turbo engine displaces 2.0 liters, compared to 2.5 in current spec. It will also power the forthcoming BRZ turbo, with direct fuel injection developed by Subaru rather than the port/direct-injection combo engineered by Toyota for the normally aspirated BRZ and Scion FR-S. A single twin-scroll turbocharger mounts below the top of the block to maintain the boxer engine's low center of mass."

This last point might indicate how the engine could work for the BRZ.
