Not exactly, the stage 1 SC by GTM has a pretty terrible intake design.
There are 2 intake filters with a sharp bend along with a couple other 90+ turns before hitting the SC unit. It ended up restricting even the smallest pulley from going over 8PSI because of airflow restrictions.

And actually, the 1st design which I had we were topping out at 6-6.5PSI and they made some quick changes and sent out a new piece and we finally hit 8PSI.
