My comment was directed to the post suggesting that our manifold could only take so many psi before it would fail. Also, 30 PSI in a bicycle tire is exactly the same as 30 PSI in a tractor tire, save the difference in volume of air at that particular PSI. I think that's what you were getting at (volume of air).

My stock turbo evo 8 flowed 42lb's of airflow through the motor at 27psi. The 20g I put on afterwards flowed 46lb's of airflow at 26.5psi. Which do you think was more stressful on the motor? |

Too bad nothing ever came of it.
