You should be getting much more than 15-16 whp especially if youre going full turboback, mazda has a problem of making the cats very restrictive. An example of this is the cat on the rx-8 robs 8-10whp alone, the rest of the exhaust is fine as switching to an aftermarket catback gives absolutly no power since the exhaust on the RX-8 is already 2.5 inches and is 90% straight through with ther ebeing only 2-3 minor bends in the exhaust.

so you having a FI car I would say you get well more HP, not much more torque cause its a tiny turbo already pushin 14.7 pounds (though you could push it up to 23-25 easily and not damage it since the efficiency range on that Ko4 stops at around 30psi (flamethrower). As I said before you have the same turbo that the jetta and GTI upgrade to.
