Message I dont get it. How can you even reach 30 psi with that? Are you talking 30 psia or psig? Cause 30 psig (gauge pressure) will take a pressure ratio of 3. The map doesn't go nearly that high.

30 psig = 44.7 psia
psia = PR * 14.7, where PR is pressure ratio
44.7 psia / 14.7 = PR
PR = 3.04.

Are there real world effects going on here that significantly increase the ability of a turbo beyond its map? I dont own a turbo car so I dont know how they work in "real life".
