I'm going to have to go with Andrew's logic as well on the Lancer/versus Rex thing.. keep in mind the weight difference as well... there are a lot of factors there....

The Lancer I have is CE with the 1.8. The stock WRXs are easy, but the sucker I raced had plenty of mods, high boost, BIG I/C, 4.11 diff gears, Street race dog box and blah blah blah.
The CG has been released for 10 months or so now, it has the 4G94 2 litre. No mod kits for those here yet, anything over there?? Like T/C and S/C kits............I would imagine there are plenty.

SC's are not slow by any means... they actually produce good effecient power but when compaired to a turbo setup you should not be able to overcome its hp/lb of boost ratio on a 4 cylinder. 6cyls are basically equal... and on a V-8 i'd go SC all the way.
The SC just drains the 4 cyl to much on the low end. I give you mad props on your setup Raptor. A 1.8 with 180whp at 10psi is great. If you had a 2.0 you'd probably be at 210-220whp at that boost. In comparison though at 9psi i put down around 240whp/tq and at 11psi i put down around 265whp/tq... No SC has come close to that yet. On 4 cyl. turbo's rule in my opinion.
I think the reason why zoo had issues is he's an automatic... I ran into similiar problems but i guess i'm just a little better when i comes to the lancer. I figured out its secrets an got Guru Del boosting 9psi strong for almost a month now.
