2014 BRZ - Turbocharged
Hi
Recently started to look into getting a BRZ and came across this listing where a non-subaru dealer is selling this turbocharged BRZ. Anybody know if this is a factory option that I am not aware of, and if not, which turbokit is this, and how reliable is it?

Can't tell what it is (not my area of expertise anyway) but turbos seem to be as reliable as the quality of their install and tune makes them. It is a crap shoot on one with no knowledge of it's background.

can't tell from the pic what kit that is, but i would never by a pre-modded car. if my car is going to blow up, i want it to be my fault. edit: it looks like it's one of the Full Blown kits. Not sure which one. http://fullblownmotorsports.com/shop...its-components The FBM kits are generally seen as good quality kits if you're looking for big power. Some have had issues with the kits, as is bound to happen. I don't know any more than that. |
