200 TQA wagon engine/driveability question

[Ed Kellock]

His, with the MC2 engine has a smaller K24 turbo which will spool faster and
more advanced electronic control from the ecu.

The max boost is managed by the ecu.  If you get a tad less, it could merely
be a variation in the two cars or some indication that you have some minor
boost leaks.

I believe in some cases your car should seem to have a bit more grunt than
his once fully spooled due to the K26 in your car having greater capacity
than a K24.

The two are similar but not the same.  Results will likely vary even if both
are in tip-top shape.
