Andy,
That could be true.
Mine ECU is a MY95 RA and I also have a GReddy Profec boost controller among other things.

I run a VF22 on my car with a UK gearbox and I don't think that change alone will get your acceleration time down.
I have recently had to swap back from a steel billett flywheel (~4.5kg)to a standard cast one and the turbo lag is now really noticable.

Question

Don't you also need to modify the ECU in some fashion in order to get the new turbo running to it's full potential??

PS What's 0-60 4.8? Your best time or what you want?
