Apologies accepted, thanks Driftster for the response and explanation of your thoughts. I agree with you, there are going to be some challenges in locating a turbo. And the challenge is gives even more pressure to OEM because it must be reliable too. And thermal efficiency has plagued performance boxer engines for a long time (ej turbos specifically). Stupid uppipes, and locating a turbo so close to intercoolers. Stupid heat soak. Intake manifolds getting retardly hot. Thanks for bringing up remote turbos too, iv only heard bad things about those systems. So thats out the window.

So a Turbo BRZ, possible and likely?....yes. Easy with its current configuration?...no
