You'd only need a small amount of additional boost to make that difference, the main changes between the two are the fact that the RA is basically a stripped out lightweight shell.
an v2 sti ra delivered a bit more hp then the claimed 275, they also run closer to 16 psi, then they do to 13 psi, they will hit boost cut a little after 16 psi though (i think 1.1 bar).

compare a torque curve between them, the RA carried power for much longer into its range.
