What is different on your car that would allow you to reach the same boost level at less RPM than that one?

Edit: Ah just saw in your sig you are 2.2L.
Yep, 2.2L, from what I have seen the overbore is good for 400-500rpms of spool and making 8-12% more power at the same boost and then even a bit more power at the same boost with bumped compression.

I am not really trying to "keep up" with anyone at all. Just looking at the next step for improving my car. This is a slam dunk if I really want the whole big time turbo setup. But realistically its prolly not going to happen, not this year. Honestly, I just thought it was an AWESOME setup/powerband that got me giddy and wanted to share with everyone. Didn't seem worth making a whole thread for it. I have enough work on my current setup before I move up still.
