That's a lot of engine prep for only a 20g. Then again you're already on borrowed time with all that through the stock transmission!

Is that the reason you're set up for only 17 psi on the 20g? A limitation of the TMIC maybe?

[wrxhybrid]

yeah im purely limited by my tranny. Once i get a 6 spd swap or a built tranny i hope to get it tuned for somewhere around 450 to the wheels with meth and EWG.

dude you would need a much larger turbo and e85 to consistantly put down 450whp on more than a single high reading dyno. If you make 450 with a 20g...move down the street and put it on another type of dyno, you will not make that much power, that size turbo just won't flow that much.

with e85, quality front mount, great tune and maybe the new 20g Xt from blouche you might be putting down a consistant 380 at the wheels which should net over 120 traps
