Edit -- Ok, here's a long thread on 18g and 16g 1/4 mile times. Looks like 16g's can run into the 11's, and 18g's can even break into the tens:

The only vf39 cars running 11's are highly modified. Your average stage 2 sti on E85 won't touch 11's.
The reason why you don't see a lot of fast 16g wrxs or stis is because nobody pushes the turbo the way it's meant to be pushed. And evo3 16g doesn't really even wake up till 18-20psi. Dsm guys run these turbos into the 28-30psi range.
A 16g isn't popular on the ej25 because people say that it's too small. Thus, there aren't a lot of people with built a bottom end pushing 28-30psi on E85 to really turn up any results. A bug eye went 10.80 with an 18g... an 18g only flows 25cfm more than an evo3 16g 8cm.
