I've got my GT4 for boost and track days, so my plan now is to just get all the TRD factory bolt ons for the 86 and leave it at that. The best is can be nasp while still keeping a warranty.
Yeah that's my plan, buy it now and enjoy it how it is from the factory. Once the warranty expires swap an STI engine in, or a turbo for the stock engine if someone manages to find a way. Gives them time to get the ECU tuning right and everything. I definitely would not want to be a guinea pig turboing a brand new engine.
