low 300's on an 18G is about right. for 340 youd need to be pushing it a lot and need like every bolt on available. Better a 20G for easier power to hit 330-350whp. Unless you're on a COBB dyno that gets 320hp with just CAI and turbo back lolz.
Looks good Jon! Are the 750's going to hold up to E85? I thought 1k's were needed for that. dooooeeeeetttttt lol

after my tune I expect to be right at 300awtq. Not sure about hp.

id like to see your build and pics. Its good to see legit swaps. If full swap = 6 sp then you dont have the 300hpish threshold that the 5sp guys do.. hopefully you have a good tuner where you are.

Sorry to revive an old thread and threadjack But I had a question:
I couldn't help but notice that the torque curve slowly drops after boost is created. Why is this happening? The first thing that comes to mind for me is that maybe the subaru heads can't sustain the boost pressure or maybe there isn't enough lift for the cams at that RPM?
Turbo too small too?

I'll redirect your questions about the curve to my tuner, but I'll also be posting the tune we did last night so you can see the difference/improvement. I'm not sure what you mean by turbo too small. I wanted the car to be a DD and around the 300awhp range with the most usable power as possible. All while tuned with motor longevity in mind. When replacing my turbo the 18G-XT seemed like the right way to go to get into that range while keeping the 5sp.

from what I have gathered when looking at Turbos etc etc. is that Turbos as their Size becomes to small, they either restrict Exhaust at Higher rpms, thus reducing torque, or power up top, or They produce too much heat instead of compressing the air, therefore losing their efficiency causing similar results. but I guess headflow would matter equally as much.

I changed post 1 to be more compact and look more organized in tables. Took forever to format them because we have really limited html on i-club.. no tables.. not much extra code etc...
