The dyno plot tells the story. The WRX has nothing/nada/no balls until boost hits around 3000. My SVT plot is MUCH stronger even before secondaries. WRX is strong 3-6K (though less than you might think after the AWD system gets its cut) then runs out of steam dramatically going to 7K, just when SVT is really hitting its stride.

Now with a ball bearing turbo upgrade + some other stuff WRX power curve looks much better.
