WRX's are known to be weak from a roll, I'd say race him and see where you stand. You never know, you could pull ahead. How sure are you he didn't get his ECU reflashed to take advantage of his TBE?

Sounds solid, I'd do it. You may be suprised at the outcome. I will say that his turbo lag should be pretty much non existant with that tiny td04 turbo opened up and unrestricted by 2 of the 3 cats(if he didn't replace the Up Piep) being removed.

A turbo swapped WRX and a WRX with a TBE are two completely different animals. The one you're thinking of racing won't even be in the same league as the turbo swapped WRX. I think it's worth a shot. If you're really worried, just plug in a 50-75 shot of the juice and really surpise him.

It won't be a whole sale slaughter though. I'd do it from a roll if I were him. There's always the bottle.....

Yes, by definition a WRX is turbo charged.
