which is completely true. 8psi is strictly 8psi its a measure of pounds per square inch that is it... psi does not relate to performance at all!!! my 8psi performance could yield the same performance as a regular TT's 20psi setup. Do not get defensive cause we are saying the same thing.
Yes, and boost pressure doesn't even give you that. It's at most an arbitrary number you can tune a boosted system to target. But when compressor speed must increase to maintain the same pressure at a higher rpm, I'm not even sure boost pressure is a good thing to target.
