Subaru brz sti.
Why wait...? Crawford already has a full kit designed for it. Took this at Subiefest this year. I believe it is already available, I think they were making about 400/400...
I still think that it is going to be cost-prohibitive to buy and modify that car and the hype is/was undeserved.
It isn't going to make enough power NA and because Subie derp-derped and put 12.5:1 compression in the motor you are going to have to include lower compression pistons in any turbo kit/turbo build. That makes it cost-prohibitive to most low-budget people (which is the entire point of this being a fairly low-cost new car tuner), especially those uncomfortable with doing internal engine work themselves. You're probably looking at an extra $800-1,000 a kit for pistons and if you pay someone to install, another $800 in labor to install.
