It just might be. Could you explain how 5psi manifold pressure aka cyl pressure is different whether its a turbo creating the pressure or a sc creating the pressure?

I am a little confused as to how the same amount of PSI makes more power depending on what is creating that pressure. I always knew that bigger turbos had to work less because they flow more, therefore they can force MORE air into the same space more easily. Thats why a bigger turbo will have a much easier time making 40psi than a tiny one which would have to spin itself into kingdom come to generate 40psi.

However, that hardly explains anything. So please someone explain to me how "boost isnt boost".

What happened to the initial released estimations, I remember reading numbers in the 600+
420whp is almost 100% power increase over stock. Can we stop throwing numbers around? There's no backing to these claims. 420whp on some dynos is 350whp on other dynos too. I'm not too thrilled about someone other than the mfg coming out with some real numbers.

Are we to take these numbers seriously GTM? Its funny when numbers are released by a customer before the manufacturer.
