No, 12 psi out of something that doesn't flow a lot of air is very different than 12 psi out of a huge compressor. If you blow 12 psi through a cocktail stirrer, you're moving a lot less air than 12 psi through a garden hose.

Only if you can produce the air to fill that garden hose

Now you're talking volume of air not pressure. You need the pressure to force the air into the engine. The volume comes from the size of the intake all the way from the air filter through the valves to the cylinder. Am I right? Or am I missing something. Seems like a simple physics problem to me and I'm no physicist.
