I'd say that sounds about right. My sisters BF has an 04 STI and with a GT35 and at around the same boost he's making 415 WHP so that kid was not over 400. He didn't seem like a bad kid though. I think 100-200 more whp is a bit of a stretch though lol.

At about 360-370whp i start having traction issues launching. At 400+ i can't hook in 1st gear even from a roll. He has more rubber i'm sure, but he managed to bog and stay dead hooked the whole time. No offense to him, but I think 400whp is a bit of a stretch. I'm thinking 360-380, personally.
You might be right, as you would know much better than I would what the cars and turbos are capable of. I know it didn't strike me as a mid 400's car based off the races and going for a ride in it.

You always seem to be on target with these cars, so I'll bow to your wisdom here
