Thanks man, ended opting for the 4dr for that reason. Hatch’s are getting so hard to find for a decent price these days. Plus the 4dr has more of a “sleeper” look.

Where does the S362 SX-E hit full boost ? Are you delaying boost onset purposefully for traction purposes or is it as laggy as the dyno graph makes it appear (Torque peak at 7700rpm) ?

Thanks. The turbo is a journal bearing 62/68 turbo, so definitely full boost at higher rpms. It is shocking how hard power hits on the street.

Try giving the boost solenoid more duty during spool up or using the fast-spool feature. That should help wake it up considerably and give you a wider powerband which will also make it come on smoother.
