if you want to get the quickest spool up possible on a USDM 2.0L WRX, keep your TD-04 turbo, get a Hallman RX MBC, uppipe+TBE(catless), Perrin IC hoses, and a protune from Ed. I swear Ed is a magician with tuning.
a friend of mine with a stock 05 STi and I did a 3rd gear pull on hwy 1 and he pulled lightly on me, ended up only a few feet behind his rear bumper.
I was perviously tuned for the 3 port solenoid and with the stock 3rd cat. After getting rid of the 3rd cat, and getting the MBC, it is like a new car again with how hard it pulls.

well, if you're running the stock engine management, that doesn't help either. 8:1 AFR is uhmm.. rich?
