And the US has never seen the release of any JDM 2L EJ engine. Ever. Your comparison holds no water on this side of pond.
The EJ205 that we saw made 227 in stock form; no twin-scroll turbine/headers, no AVCS (intake OR exhaust), no forged internals, lower duration cams, lower redline... completely different engine from the EJ207, really. Furthermore, ALL export-spec STI models since the introduction of the third generation have had the 2.5L engine. Subaru needs better emissions and mileage to survive CAFE. We will never see an engine like the EJ207 here. Period.
380 what? No EJ has ever made that much out of the factory. The current 2.5 makes as much power as the 2.0 with way more torque, which frankly is of better use on the street. Your blatant overstatements...they make me cry.
