A 300hp/300tq STi and 225hp/258tq Viggen put very similair torque numbers out on the dyno. Part of this is due to the much higher wheel power loss of AWD and part of it is due to the Viggen's actual torque being underrated.
The TurboX is rated at 280hp/295tq, but I have not seen any actual dyno results. By the number the cars should be pretty even, but it's possible the that the one you encountered was still a little green and/or the owner was not willing to completely flog it. Combine that with the (marginal) increase in power/respone you are getting from the intake, and you have a win.
If you were to compare to lowly Aero v6 with its 250hp/258tq, you may find that actual output to ground is roughly the same.
