EG33 have one bank firing cylinders 240' apart. The EJ2X turbo has one bank firing 180' apart (1 4 2 3) and the stock header for the EJ2X is near identical to the EG33 header and is what Perrin copied and what I also did. EJ2X header is good for 100 bhp per cylinder before the pulses create to much of a restriction. Means the EG33 is good for about 600 bhp theoretically before the stock headers become a restriction. I saw 580 odd bhp but the cams were the issue. Now cams fixed I expect it will hit 600 bhp no problems at 6500-7000 rpm.

All EJ2X turbos have always been greater than 1.5:1 exhaust to inlet pressure ratio. VF34P20, one of the best turbos available for the EJ207 is around 2:1 at 20psi when you push the boost up to 18-20 psi like what pretty much every second WRX owner does.

It's only when you stick a big turbo say GT35R on the 2.5L engine when you see 1:1 pressure ratios.
