If they had the same bore and stroke, cam profile (lift and duration) head design, valve design, intake and exhaust manifold design then you could compair. Otherwise the numbers will be different.
Ever hear people talking about how a 3SGTE will spool up a big turbo? It's the same size as an SR.....
This is in the same boat as the "Boost is Boost" arguement. (a T25 at 20psi is moving as much air as a T51R at 20psi).
Just swaping cams can have a dramatic effect on when boost hits. A Greddy intake manifold will add lag, a nice equal length tube exhaust manifold will add spool. There are just to many variables, I mean cam timing can have a big effect, if you retard your ignition you will get boost sooner due to the "live charge" in the exhaust. You can run a car richer or leaner.... there are a LOT of variables.
look at other SR's, I was the first guy on here to have a GT25R, mine was a .64 and had a REALLY nice torque curve. It wasn't spooled fully at 3500rpm but it didn't have to be, it was already making sick torque by that point. The S15 turbo is another great one, or a .48ar turbine SC50.
Also consider the divided entry tubo in the Mitsu limits peak flow, so your killing high end effency for low end gain. It's also good to note that the stock Evo exhaust is pretty damn good as it sits. The O2 housing is already 'big' and divided (DSM guys use them as upgrades all the time). So your not going to be a lot ahead of them with your factory stuff.
Last point, the Evo turbo wouldn't fit anyhow, it is 'backwards' so to speak from the way turbo's are useually mounted. The 'tang' is on the other side (if that makes any sense). Basically if you topmounted it insted of hanging away from the motor (as a normal Garrett turbo would) it would be hanging into the valve cover. They had to make it like that for packeging constraints in the EVO.
Hope that helps clear this up a little
