plus the boost comes alive at 3500-4000 RPMs on the PE1818....just like my vf34....the PE1818 just spools quicker and if you take it out and spin it by finger....it spins longer than the vf34....
know what I mean??

331WHP on the same dyno as you.
With the new block and 6 spd, that power level will be higher and come on sooner.

That is correct. There is not much lag at all. Even running pig rich and with a FMIC, on the stock ECU. God dang, tuned, I will be killing ****!
The gearing on the 6 is just pimp shiz! Except on the highway, but if you are serious about your car, and power, you can deal with the low highway gears and the reduced fuel economy. At least she is strong.
I will never regret shelling out the dough on the 6. I love that damn thing! I have never been happier!
PE1820 is the hardest hitting WRX turbo there is. It is easily classified as a street turbo. I have ridden in cars with just about every variant of ihi turbo available. Everybody says that mine feels VERY FAST, like kicks you in the **** like no other IHI bolt on. I believe it.
Get the PE1820 Fred san!
I can't wait to get tuned.

ok sorry to kick this ot back to the 6 speed, is it just one over drive gear with another down low and rewoerd lower gear ratios, or is it 2 over drive gears for better top end, or is it (last one I swear) is it 2 over drive gears, but with lower gearing all the way around???, and what is the top speed limited by the gearing of the 6 speed??? thnx

PE1820 is the hardest hitting BOLT ON turbo. I think the GReddy TD18Z turbo might be harder hitting or the HKS 2835 than you can get and is a bolt on.
At this point, I would say that my T67 at 28PSI hits "pretty hard" as well.
The exhaust side is huge so the turbo wouldn't get to work in its sweet spot and still make 330WHP. Of course there is lag, but I didnt mind it that much.
Now, with the 2.4L motor and higher compression with better gearng should spool up much better.
Just in case I have a smaller 8cm^2 exhaust housing if the current 10cm^2 is still too big.
