OMG OMG OMG! Look at who's finally posting! I have AWESOME FREAKIN NEWS! My BRZ is getting turbocharged courtesy of Blackworks Racing! So how did all of this start??? Well the owner needed a FRS/BRZ to use to prototype parts for(This is where I come in lol) and since BWR makes the most bada$$ turbo manifolds. Why not go all the way and turbo the damn car

They will also be making adjustible control arms, strut tower braces both f/r, and other various suspension bits. All of which will go on sale for the masses when done and I'll talk to them about becoming a vendor/sponsor for us. .

Alright onto the turbo! Its a Garrett T3/T4E hybrid 50 trim.

BWR will be using an external TiAL wastegate and BOV. No word on the EMS yet.
But yeah! I just handed my BRZ over this morning I'll update you guys on the progress as it comes along on a separate build thread. I'm soooo stoked right now!

Congrats. But whose turbo set are they copying? lol (if your new to the scene... don't worry you'll evenly catch up).

Seem some people live in the past.

Any who, everything thing being done is custom. And I maybe partial to BWR since both my father and brother are employees. But there is no need to be cocky here. We can argue quality when the build is done.

Pretty slim in this area... there is one local that is experimenting on open source stuff. And then there is Joe @ Goodspeed in scottsdale if you want a shop. What are you looking to have done, just a minor tune? E85 conversion? Boost?

Yes everything is being done in house. You can basically consider them a new company. I'll be stopping by the shop as often as I can to post updates as soon as work begins.
