Well, we're not all mega-power freaks :)
True, it pales next to WRX power.
If I were to turbo my SE-R I would be
perfectly content with stock DET power
levels or even the JWT G20 kit. I lowish-
power turbo with a fat powerband and lots
of torque is all I want. That's why the
QR25 in the SE-R would make me happy, even
w/o the scream factor and redline of the
SR20. Hell, my Fiat Spider only gets
120bhp out of its 2L/twin-cam/8V turbo
and it's fine with me :)
