    Just want some comments on this...

    Seems like bone stock a WRX (non-STi) will start making 'good power' around 3500RPM or so. With UP/DP closer to 3000.

    For those of you with VF39s, 34s, 30s, 22s, 18Gs...whatever... where do you really start getting into the 'strong' powerband? I know it's somewhat subjective, but would like an idea of how much various aftermarket turbos will alter the band...

    Disregarding torque peak, when do you really *feel* that it starts pulling decently?

    My little VF29 pulls really hard from 3 grand up to about 5 or 6 where it just cannot flow enough.
