do you realize that by saying it makes 227hp at 3000 rpms, you are saying that it also makes 397ft lbs of torque at said RPMs? obviously that is no where near the truth. the stock WRX makes 215 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpms.
also, by saying that the ej20tt makes 276hp at 1700 rpms is also saying that it makes 852 ft lbs of torque at 1700rpms. remember torque and hp are tied in with one another very closely. infact there is a .1 correlation between hp and torque at the same engine speed.
remember the formula torque=hp*5252/rpms and conversly hp=torque*rpms/5252
i do understand what you are saying that the tt motor spools faster, because its got 2 seq turbos, but the power figures you stated are way off.

I thought he was meaning that the power STarts at 1700 rpm. NOt the max power is at 1700rpm. Or at least logically it sounds that way to me. I understand that the wording could lead you to believe that he means 276hp AT 1700rpm. But that's not how it sounds to me. Just my 2cents.
