No. That's what I have on my 2.0L. It is just very laggy. Even with the header. I previously had a FP 18g. I would recommend the Deadbolt 18g due to the extra coatings and reuse of stock water and oil lines. The FP had to have different oil and water lines. The 18g is a perfect fit for a 2.0L. There are days that I wish I still had mine.

I am going to go with an 18g for my 06 WRX. Seems like a good mix of low and top end power

Call Boxer4Racing. 828-638-9218 Dale can get these pretty easily. Deadbolt is right down the street from him. He got my DB20g in one day and delivered to me in two.

Oh yes. And low 12s, possibly high 11s.

is meth safe for a daily driver, or is it a certain map that you only use for track and stuff?

Evo III 16G is the turbo I wish i got, but i didnt have enough money. Of the top of my head i think it even flows more then the 18g, but spools faster. $100 or so more then the 18G but worth it IMO.
