My setup is actually more responsive than when at standard. There is no noticeable delay, which is why i opted for the 18g size turbo.
I think at the 330bhp-level it was easier to drive. At close to the 400-level it requires more concentration (obviously).
Can be a bit of a handful, seem to drive slower, or push less, because when you do, everything goes warp speed.
Back wants to overtake the front in a straight line it feels.
But the smiles
What fun!!!!

Mine is a Twin Scroll, so my experience will be differeent to your STI7.
But what I will say, is that you will get used to it
But, you will start to wonder if that 'other' Japanese Performance car you just pulled away from [whatever make/model] was actually trying very hard to catch you.

Hi Hol,
Just a quick question mate I noticed you are running a twin scroll does this mean you have a JDM motor and is it still a 2 litre and if so what spec have you got to achieve your profile outputs ?
Sorry for so many questions

I can claim none of the credit

I would also suggest you look at Webmaster Shauns own articles, as he also got good results with a Turbo upgrade (Mine still being on the standard unit - something I am thinking of).

I have a UK Newage (STI8) with MD321H, tubular headers, 650 injeectors and all the usual supporting mods. It makes a tad over 400bhp and around 360lb/ft of torque.
It's great fun to drive - the power builds very progressively but unlike the standard car, just keeps on building right the way to the limiter. There's plenty of low-down torque and throttle response is crisp.
On the road it's ballistic - huge fun and very quick through the gears. However with the pedal pressed to the metal it requires a degree of respect in damp or wet conditions. Spinning up all 4 wheels is quite achieveable in 3rd. Having said that, it's not tiring to drive and doesn't require 'eyeballs out' concentration.
400bhp in a Newage is probably about right. However, as I'm sure others on here will understand, you still kind of end up wanting more...
