One word of caution; My setup did detonate on the dyno while tuning so we pulled timing right in the torque peak area of 4500-5500 rpm boost was pushing out to 11psi and holding at 10 and then at 7500rpm it was just under 10. We pulled some timing and it was all good.
Would your setup accomodate a larger VF series turbo from an STi?
The car is fun for sure, the timing as been pulled and then reset back to 15º where is at the moment, it was way slower, and had a huge flatspot between 3500/5500, so i´ve been experimenting with timing and datalogging, also used the SAFC2 "knock count" estimate... i really need a dedicated tool, i think i´m fine tough...
I´m using a "Big value special engine builders" gti-r ecu, that i bought by mistake, see here:
http://www.sr20-forum.com/tuning/50603-big-value-special-engine-builders-gti-r-ecu.html and god knows what is chipped too, but pretty sure the timing is pulled on boost, that´s for sure, and higher up it tends to be pretty rich, that i corrected with the safc for my setup, everywhere else just seems spot on and silky smooth...
I´m using a older TD05 STI turbo(EU market) only later ones had the VF´s, but no, i cannot use VF, since i swapped the turbine housing to a T25 type from an Alfa Romeo, see here:

But i can get bigger compressor housings... the subarus have gigantic aftermarket options...
Not bad for a 100USD turbo...
