CBRD secret sauce turbo upgrade!
Mmmm yum nice numbers! That's about where my car should end up once properly tuned - similar mods.
Unfortunately my BBK Lite is just fine but my tune is currently garbage...knocking all over the place and boost spikes etc.
Wish Kreionic/CBRD did international house calls...you guys always seem to get sweeetly shaped power curves (and good numbers).

On the up I'd say he's still very much a trustworthy friend/tuner since I got a PM from him offering to help out in my inbox on the same day you posted so I just added two and two

Charlies car was about 15-16whp and torque stronger with the full version than the lite at the same boost levels last night.... we didnt have much time to tune, his car blew a line off the underside of the manifold... so it took us a little time to find, fix, and get back and running...

As far as spool mt BBK Lite is hitting peak torque at 4000-4300 rpms dead-on in DLL (obviously spooling all the way up to my 1.9 bar setting), exactly the same as with my old turbo, which was a 15.5G JDM RS Mag turbo.
So yeah I'd say that the spool on this thing is for real.

I picked up a Lite awhile back, finally got the car running last night and drove it for the first time today. I bought the car already modded with a stock IX turbo, HKS 280s, full 3", tubular o2, Walbro 255, ACT clutch, HKS upper IC pipe and inlet pipe, and some other odds and ends. It also had a blown engine so I have no basis of comparison. While I was rebuilding it I added the BBK Lite & BR Deluxe FMIC w/lower ICP. I haven't installed the new 950 injectors yet, still running on the tune that came with the car. Running wastegate pressure for now just to work out the bugs.
First impression - WOW! Boost is INSTANT. I can't imagine anyone ever needing faster spool than this thing. I'll be installing the wideband and 950s within a couple weeks and then re-tuning it, I'll be sure to post an update.
