The long awaited 2022+ WORKS Stage 2 Turbo Kit for the new BRZ / GR86 platform is almost here!
This kit utilizes a genuine Garrett GT28 Ball Bearing
turbocharger to provide efficient, turbocharged power while retaining the OEM
airbox, exhaust manifold, and secondary catalytic converter. Our team of
engineers and fabricators have spent countless of hours in design, development, tuning, and
testing to produce a simple and reliable turbo kit that enhance the driving
experience of the your vehicle. This is the easiest-to-install, most
cost-effective, and least-intrusive air-to-liquid intercooled turbo system
available for the BRZ / GR86 platform.
Notable Features:
- Genuine Garrett GT28 Dual Ball Bearing water-cooled turbocharger mounted rearward to maintain chassis balance and handling
- Air-to-liquid aluminum intercooler with front-mounted auxiliary radiator
Internal and external ceramic coated up and downpipe
- Internal and external thermal ceramic coating on both exhaust pieces for heat retention and increased velocity
- Short run piping and efficient intercooler maximize boost and throttle response while minimizing pressure loss/drop
- Durable powder coated components with 4-ply silicone couplers and superior European rolled edge hose clamps
- Retains OEM airbox, PCV system, exhaust manifold, front pipe, and both catalytic converters
- Compatible with aftermarket exhaust equipment that retains stock exhaust flange locations and bolt patterns
- Oil pan removal and wiring harness extension NOT necessary for easy, reliable installation
We encourage the use of a high-flow air filter like the WORKS High-Flow Drop-In Air Filter with our kit. For strenuous or track use, stiffer motor mounts are highly recommended. The significant increase in power should also be balanced with better braking performance like what our WORKS BP-1 Brake Package provides.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Tuner Kits do not include
an ECU calibration and require appropriate ECU tuning for proper operation.
This kit is not compatible with right-hand drive vehicles at this
time. Please see our installation instructions for a more comprehensive list of
vehicle equipment prerequisites.

Q&A:
What are the advantages of a turbocharger vs. supercharger?
This is, of course, a lengthy discussion, however a turbo has many
benefits over a supercharger. Efficiency is the goal, and a turbocharger uses
exhaust gasses already present to spin the turbine and create boost pressure.
Meanwhile; a Supercharger is a belt driven unit; creating additional parasitic
load on the engine at all times and poor throttle response.
Additionally, the end user has much more control over boost pressure on a
turbocharged vehicle: making more mid-range power/torque along with a
consistent power band. Because the turbo isn't always "in boost" like a
supercharger; this also means that there is less load while cruising around
town or on the highway. Driving the WORKS Turbo BRZ still averages over 30MPG+ on highway with 91 octane fuel.
Does the kit come with an ECU calibration?
An ECU calibration is not included with this kit and appropriate ECU tuning is required for proper operation.
How long does it take to install the kit?
Depending on mechanical aptitude, installation normally takes between 12 - 16 hours.
Does installing the kit require any cutting, fabrication or wire harness extensions?
Very minor trimming is required. No factory wiring harness modification or extension is necessary! And no oil pan removal or modification necessary! Please see our installation instructions for a description of required modifications.
Do I need to remove the front bumper for installation?
Bumper removal is required for Stage 2. Please see our installation instructions for a description of the installation process.
How does this kit retain the factory exhaust manifold / headers?
Our kit only replaces the factory over pipe from the exhaust system, leaving all other exhaust components intact.
Will this kit work with aftermarket headers? How is turbocharger spool affected?
Our kit bolts up to headers that maintain the stock outlet flange location. Remember that the stock header contains a catalytic converter and two O2 sensors, so replacing the stock header with an aftermarket one will likely require software adjustments to our base calibration.
Spool characteristics are based on many factors that are unique to different header designs (volume, primary tube diameter, bend geometry, etc.) There are so many aftermarket BRZ/GR86 header options that it's not possible for us to make definitive statements about what aftermarket headers will do to the spool characteristics of our kit.
How do the battery and ECU housing handle the added heat from the turbocharger?
The exhaust piping included in our kit is ceramic coated internally and externally which reduces radiant engine bay heat significantly. We include a battery heatshield in the kit, have monitored battery surface temperatures after track sessions, and have found them to be a non-issue when using the heatshield. The injector ECU showed no heat effects either. We provide thermal wrap in our kit to protect all wiring in the area of the turbo.
How is the drivability?
With proper engine calibration the kit has very smooth, factory-like drivability and keeps pulling to redline. We developed this kit to deliver a power level to match the capability of the stock chassis.
Do I need to upgrade the fuel system?
The factory fuel system is adequate for 91 and higher octane (R+M)/2 gasoline. If running E85; the system
should be upgraded appropriately.
Will the kit void my warranty?
In many cases the turbo kit could affect your dealer warranty for the motor which is no surprise. However it should not affect the warranty of other components due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Consult your local dealer for specific questions.
Is there a warranty from WORKS?
There is a 12K mile or 12 month warranty against defects in parts.
When will I receive my turbo kit?
This Turbo Kit is currently undergoing the final stages of production and not available yet. Please call to get on the waiting list.
WORKS Turbo Kits are made to order and your order is expected to ship in 8-10 weeks after purchase. Lead times vary based on order volume and we will try our best to beat our fulfillment estimate. Thanks for understanding! Order cancellation requests after 72 hours are subject to a 25% re-stocking fee.
