Saw this video pop up on my youtube subs (Assuming you could do the same turbo kit with a brz).

Sounds like the FA 2.0 is a good platform. We had to believe Subaru was building a motor for both NA and Turbo applications as the EJ 2.5 has not been a reliable as the NA 2.2 and 2.0 Turbo. IMO

From what i've read you're right, the first BRZ STI wasn't supposed to be turbocharged. Though apparently now they are planning on making it a direct inject turbocharged 100% Subaru instead of the joint effort with Toyota. Looks like they won't be around until 2014.

Ive never seen the web show before. He brings up a lot of important things when doing car builds.
The platform is built on handling, so they didn't much with it too much. Poly all around + KW's are what I'd recommend for a ground pounder and they did that.
Good suspension = better and more consistent turning. Better tires = betterer turning. The shop didnt slap on a turbo and big bars and call it a day. They actually went about building a nice proper car.
The frs/brz has the right stuff to be the next miata.
I haven't driven one, but I want to see if the front suspension is broken like stock subarus are.
