I decided to bring this over here, I didn't want to run away with Richards thread.
All I can say it the car runs good and with a little boost tunning it'll run great. As far as the weight difference I could tell, but not enough to be significant. I don't know why anyone would ever do a SR20 swap.
Hopefully I get the intercooler pipes back from powdercoating today or tommorrow. I need to get a better feel for the handling/throttle response. I also need to tune my boost controler. Hopefully I can get all of this worked out before Sunday

I'll add my 2¢ to that, ....
.... my WRX runs an easy 13.6 in the 1/4 mile right now (when I say easy, that means I was taking it easy, and could do better
). Mike's car was pulling as hard, or harder, on only 10 PSI, ... which can be turned up to about 14!
The car handles just as well IMO, ... the only time I noticed the weight difference, was when going over that curb, ... err I mean speed bump. j/k And like Mike said, ... I dunno why anyone would want to do an SR swap, when this is so much better, for about the same $$. Torque is GOOOOD!
Aren't you glad I stayed on your *** about getting this motor Mike??? 
But I want one too!!

Well ladies and gents, I drove her home today. Me and Sean fixed a vacum leak, which was most of my problem, so of course I turned the boost back up to 14psi..... HOLY ****. Thats all I have to say It has so much torque and power it's almost hard to take it all in at one time. But I think I'll get use to it
