No you're right, it will work fine, I just wouldn't expect it to hold monster boost, probably like 13-14 psi at redline. I'm guessing it makes such good power for such a modestly sized turbo because the exhaust side is flowing very well. Major issue I would be concerned about woult be boost coming on too early - you may have compressor surge problems if you're not running rpm dependant boost control to hold off the boost a bit at lower rpm's.
I think you could take a VF36/37 and have Kingpin stuff a PE1820 compressor wheel in it for a few hundred bucks. If you got a good deal on the whole setup used, and then did the compressor wheel, I think this would be a pretty damn sweet setup. Should be good for a bit over 400 crank hp, and still spool wickedly fast.

Well I still think I may go with the VF37 kit. I still need to do a little more research, but it's looking better.....I'll be the 1st one in the US I guess, to put a VF37 on a STi....let's see what it can do.
.....and if that turbo doesn't do well....... I'll have all the piping for the PE1825F!
