Toyota and Subaru are currently in R&D faze of Turboing the FRS/BRZ. At this point in time it is at 45% R&D. Subaru has build a FA20 with a IhI vf-48 ( Stock STi turbo) and is currently in SAE benchmark Testing for Smog/reliability. Projected output is 260whp 230ftlbs tq. Possible release date. 8/2014, (2015 Year model.)
This is 100% legit just don't ask me what dealer, Im not gona rat the guy out.

So many market consequences will come with turboing the twins. 260whp will put power output above or the same as the new WRX. Hence, destroying WRX sales as WRX and WRX STI buyers are only look for power.
Not that i care of WRX sales going down. If it goes indeed gets produced and released, I would buy it in less than a heartbeat.
