Y so much torque? and how?
I watched an article on the 06 STI Spec C Type RA-R it said the car produces 320 bhp and 432nm torque. Being a newbie modder with these cars how and what is used to create this amount of torque say compared to the jdm hawkeye which I have.

Don't forget that 432Nm is around 318lb ft in 'proper' money lol.
Very close numerical bhp and lb ft is par for the course on a turbo'd 2.5L (is an '06 Spec C RA-R a 2.5L?).
You'd get a little less torque on the turbo'd 2.0L, though...

Type of turbo and it's boost characteristics/headers/uppipe/rest of exhaust system/fuel + mapping will influence whether more or less torque is achieved. The Spec C is probably fitted with pretty 'torque'-oriented hardware.
Nm divided by 1.357 (easy to remember - odd number sequence!) = lb ft
