I second this. As long as they put the BRZ seats in(or something similar) i could care less about Recaros as an option, but i want everything else, especially the more soft touch material.

There are aftermarket ECU tuners for DI engines but the problem with making big power with DI engines is that your basically stuck with original fuel system which can make turbo upgrades difficult because the original systems can't deliver the required fuel.

It would make it even more difficult if they decide to integrate the turbo and exhaust manifold into one unit like they do with the Sonata 2.0T and the 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T.

I will be buying this car for the fun involved. I have proven to myself several times that I don't need "big" power for that. I can't think of a time I ever needed "big" power for fun or safety, and I have been driving for 44 years. That includes track days, autocrosses, hill climbs and cross country runs.
