My buddy's GTR didn't come into boost until 5500 rpm and then it felt like the car got rear-ended. Big terbo life.

There's also Vtec to consider, believe F20c had old school light-switch style Vtec that hit at ~4k rpm....

Also neg cats for running an F series and AP2 trans when K series and BMW trans is just flat out better combo.

Vtec = big turbo hit? Not even close. Have experienced both and Vtec in an S2000 is almost like turning off the air conditioning. Weak sauce compared to a big turbo hitting.
