I made a post a while back talking about turbos, and if you do the math, according to that compressor map the turbo cannot make as much power as people are getting with it in real life. Also, according to that map, the compressor is sized wrong for our engine. The efficiency falls way off before our engine hits redline. It's too vertical, and is optimized to make a lot of boost at a low rpm. Even if you calculate what it would take to hit 450 rwhp, that turbo isn't a good canditate. But real life seems to play out differently than what that map would indicate. Actually, if that map were correct, JWT's name would be pretty accurate, since according to the map they'd be good for about 530 hp at the crank.
