[JDM Bugeye STI - uppipe/downpipe vs turbo lag?]

Hiya,

Got a 2001 V7 STI wagon ...

If i replace catted uppipe and downpipe with non catted, how much will turbo lag reduce? Will it come on spool earlier (atm not much going on before 3500rpm) ...

Where to find/buy/how much for uncatted uppipe/downpipe?

Cheers

[What is the engine spec of NZ New 2000 WRX (GC8)???]

Hi I am after a NZ New GC8 WRX but I wonder if it is detuned compared to JDM?

According to wikipedia the JDM WRX has 206kW.

According to my VIN search of the car I'm after it has an EJ205 engine and produces 160kW ...

Seriously?

Also can anyone tell me if what turbo is used in the JDM GC8 WRX 2000 compared to NZ new?

Sorry if posted in wrong forum please move accordingly, thank you.

Desperate!!!
