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".
You could have two compressors blowing air at the same pressure but one could be flowing twice as much air as the other.. the one flowing more air will obviously see higher hp numbers.
