I would just have to clock the compressor housing differently.
I'm not so sure about the AWIC setup for say a track day, I think it would heat soak. Doug is using a fairly small heat exchanger, the one I had on my WRX was about twice the size and I still had issues with the water heat soaking.
Mike said the car floated a valve when doing a high RPM dyno run, so Doug just replaced the valve springs with Kelford ones. I think in the wrxatlanta post he said the car made 530whp@18psi on E85.
Unrelated but going to their shop is like a GTR convention, there must have been 15 of them parked there from all over the country.

I went and saw his car today, he pulled a 7.3 60-130
