The fact that your car is FWD I automatically know it can't match the STi in either handling or acceleration. Looking at the car, the car aerodynamically was never built to reach huge speeds judging by its shape. FWD is economical and cheaper to build and in no way originally meant for performance. The STi has near perfect 50/50 balance so if the STi is not stable, then judging by your standards your car should feel like a boat.
I honestly don't care what you can do after you fit some enormous turbo in it because you could do the same to an STi (where mind you it would be of much better use because 4 wheels pulling is better than 2 and you'd look like an idiot as soon as we launch. Youtube "AWD Launch" and you'll see what I mean).
You putting a huge turbo in it would result in many thousands of dollars spent reinforcing that hunk of shit engine you have in there to support even a modest amount of boost and then after that you'd suffer from such insane turbo lag that you'd get bored waiting for it to spool, when it would finally spool, you would break traction immediately and spin your tires all the way up through 4th and maybe even 5th gear and what would you have at the end? A 1/4 Mile burnout and a 20 second quarter mile time.
Mind you you would also have to upgrade the gear box, pistons, injectors,rods, fuel pump, drivetrain, cooling, and many other parts in the car not just fuel pump and ECU. It would easily cost you over $20,000 USD to get that car to support a huge turbo, and that's if you find a good deal. It wouldn't surprise me if you spent upwards of $20,000 USD to get it just to not blow up the engine, let alone to be in stable running condition. Frankly I don't believe that you have that much money because if you did, you wouldn't be driving a 199X Honda City.
Not saying the STi is cheap to upgrade, no car is, but it's a whole lot cheaper to see a whole lot better results on an STi than on a Honda City.
For the record, it's not "my STi", I don't have one. I drive a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (All Wheel Drive Twin Turbo) which stock could blow your "modded Baby Godzilla" off the road, but I'm BPU right now outputting roughly 400HP so considering I've lost to a BPU STi before, I can safely assume your rust bucket of a car has nothing on the STi.
To be honest, you seem like a complete fanboy judging by your unbelievably irrational cockiness and lack of knowledge when it comes to tuning cars (especially thinking that you could put a turbo into an N/A car with just an ECU and Fuel Pump upgrade). You've never even seen an STi let alone beaten one.
