Yes the turbos get moving plenty fast and they want to keep that slower but getting the power in the top end can be accomplished in other ways. Ever notice the size of our intake manifold. Or the length of the runners. It's tiny and they're long. If you want to take your low end power and make it high end power then reverse this. If you take X number of liters X psi and X rpm you get X amount of power. The only question is where you want it to come in. Subaru Mazda Chevy Ford Audi and every other manufacturer out there has a 300hp 6 or 4 cylinder. If your like me and bought this car for the performance then you could have spent alot less and had peak torque and hp closer to 6, 7 or even 8k. But I wanted to put my foot down in any gear and have power without waiting for a turbo to spool or to reach my power band. And that's what I have!
