Even with vehement denials of a boosted Subaru BRZ, Subaru has still managed to debut a turbocharged version of the 2.0L Boxer engine. And just because the BRZ won't get it doesn't mean other products won't.

Set to debut first in the Legacy, the new engine makes 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft but comes mated to a joyless CVT gearbox. Womp womp!

The FA20 Turbo motor does away with the Toyota D4-S system and gets a true DI system instead. Expect this engine to appear, with a manual gearbox, in the next generation WRX, and perhaps in a higher state of tune for the WRX STI. And who knows…maybe it will end up in a turbocharged BRZ, or Scion FR-S.

Will also be introduced to the new facelifted Legacy GT.

Wonder if it will make it to Oz as a 2.0 with 6MT?

This will be an awesome engine, can't wait to see the potential from upgrading the turbo (if there is room!)
Shame it didn't make it to the BRZ. Hopefully Gen2 BRZ will have it as well as more handling upgrades
