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.
Thats the same rule thats here in California.

It won't be a problem in a couple years when more newer model WRX/STI's/Legacy/Forester turbos are wrecked and have drivetrains available, but in the meantime it can be a more expensive affair since you would need a 2013 or newer donor car.
