Oh, there's a bit of an issue with the option of transplanting a turbo WRX/STi engine into the FT86 for Australians. There's this crappy piece of legislation that says engines can be transplanted legally (I know this is a mere technicality for some people) if they're younger than the build date of the chassis they're being put into. Of course if they're intended to be a track car this isn't an issue, but for those that want to have a turbo FT86 on the road it is.
IIRC HKS or GReddy used to have some pretty cool kits designed for fitting a turbo to a NA engine. Not only did it come with the exhaust manifold, turbo, lines, etc, but they also came with low comp pistons and that kind of thing. Fingers crossed that there's no inherent weak points in the engine that would stop kits like this being made, and that they've made it as over-engineered as they have previous engines.
