I'm interested to see if 330-340whp on the disco can be had without going over 13-14psi boost with proper fuel supply and larger injectors. And I know the spool will be quicker, but I am actually really interested in the response of this engine to the turbo mods.

Every subaru I've driven has been pretty unresponsive compared to inline-4 setups because of the long exhaust runners. That's why I'm so curious how this engine responds. I think 330whp is a riot in a 2800lb car. More power is really good too, but this car gets a ton of praise for its responsiveness, I wouldn't want to muddy that.

Plus, another 100whp is only a turbo swap away with simple upgrades.
