Default Another 20G thread, compare the spool with Cobb Stage 2.

Hey guys, I am interested in upgrading to a TD06SL2 20G 8cm anytime soon. Right now I am on Cobb Stage 2 and I love the spool. Although I keep hearing about the 20G is not that lag on 2.5L and 6speed. But I still wanted to keep the spool as soon as possible...

My question is how bad will the spool compare these two setup?

Setup 1:
Cobb Stage 2 STi (only TBE, stock inlet, stock header, stock upipe)

Setup 2:
TD06SL2 FP20G 8cm
Grimmick Turbo Inlet
Gimmespeed Uppipe
Gimmespeed P&P Header
Bigger TMIC
Good Protune (hopefull)

I know there will be a good amount of HP increase, but how about the spool up difference? I am trying to do all bolt on support mod to reduce my spool up time on the 20G setup. I know I am going to get close to STOCK STi spool up on a 20G with minimal supporting mod and a good tune. But what I am thinking is... doing everything I can to reduce the spool, will it anywhere close to the OTS stage 2 STi (not protune)?

Thank you very much

Basically the difference between stock and a 20g is the same difference between a 20g and a FP RED or a 35R. It is definetely noticable but just knowing that there is no falling off is what sold me, I am also going with a red now because once you start upgrading turbos, you always want more.
