Re: Turbo PSI vs. Boost

Well you got the right idea for the most part. However most likely the intercooler pipes aren't the restriction that is makeing the pressure so increaseing the size of them isn't going to drop the psi. The biggest restriction is most likely the valves. There are also other factors to factor in. With compressor efficiency you have heat. The more efficient the cooler the air will be so there will be more mass in the same volume. So with a larger turbo that is more efficient at the higher boost levels you may have the same pressure of air but you will have more mass of air as the air will be cooler and denser. So if you have a ton of fuel that isn't being burned due to not enough air the added mass at the same pressure will make more power and lower EGTs.
