any suggested turbo kits that would suit me?

I have thought about getting a custom kit or buy a production kit with no IC and pipes and get custom pipes and IC

my power goals is about 225kw on dynodynamic on pump gas

I am sure LJ can hook you up with a pipe that will fit, otherwise the P&L kit is a great alternative since it goes up over the radiator and not through the headlight area.

Does anyone have a rough list of kits that do NOT require cutting/removing parts?

There are quite a few which don't require modifying the bumper beam.

P&L
FBM
Revolutions
Treadstone (EFR kit)
AVO
PTuning

Some of the kits require removing/replacing the washer fluid bottle since the IC pipe passes through that area, but I'm not sure which ones.

P&L afaik is one of the only kits which doesn't require losing/removing/replacing anything on the stock car.

everytime I see a turbo selection help me thread I automatically assume they didnt use the search function, but recently its been acompanied with some problems to solve, love it.

I would suggest PTuning's kit.

To be honest pretty much every kit is going to require some cutting or modifying. The question is which parts do you have to cut/modify. Remember you are adding parts in areas that they weren't intended to be placed like the intercooler. If you are running a front mount where the pipes come through the headlight areas and down to the intercooler, then you are going to need to remove or cut the plastic air deflectors on either side of the radiator. I also had to cut my washer fluid bottle to get a little more clearance. Sometimes depending on how you route your intercooler piping you may need to make some small cuts to areas of the bumper as well.

Technically every kit replaces items. I think the P&L replaces the least amount of things though since it allows the use of the OEM fans where the FBM utilizes slim fans and some like the RevWorks require modifying the OEM fans. One day someone should really make a table of all the kits and the varying differences between them.

The AVO kit retains everything except the OEM exhaust manifold. The only thing modified are the two side air deflectors to allow the intercooler hosing through, and slotting out the mount hole on the windshield washer tank. Retains the standard airbox as well. It doesn't require replacing or modifying the oil pan or the fans.

Yes, if asking a simple question means I am ass, sure.
Not here to be popular but a source of correct information and to be corrected if I had it wrong, apologies if your ego was bruised.
To make you feel better, yes, BRZ headlights and JDM, EUDM, AUDM headlights are all exactly the same then.

It requires replacing/adding the mechanical oil scavenge pump.

well, if people are fine being corrected since learning new things ain't a bad thing, none of this high school name calling and playground bickering would exist. In your case, you wouldnt be entertained otherwise.

Lol. I saw I was quoted, came to the page, saw it was him so just ignored it. Now you obliged me to see it

Yeah, his comment doesn't make any sense anyways

Not even sure what you are saying here. You are popular by being an ass, so I'm not sure if you are saying that you are not being an ass to be popular, or what really.

But a source of correct information? Well, you didn't provide any information when asked, you sarcastically said "What do you think?"

in reprise, I have no idea what you just said. I guess this is why I have you ignored.

No, that isn't sarcasm. Sarcasm was saying brz headlight is the same as GT86 headlights. Get your sarcasm meter checked out before calling people out would be a start.

Yeah, not my problem you don't understand. Ignorance is bliss.
