Everyone is preoccupied with the effect of pressure because it's intuitive. More pressure generally means more power, but the real story includes heat added into the charge due to the inefficiency of the turbine, compressor, and intercooler. Sizing and running the components in an optimized fashion has significant advantages no one is able to really quantify but when they're put together right the results are the impressive numbers Greg is quoting. Since creating pressure at the expense of higher temperature sacrifices power in the form of a less aggressive tune all our components should be quoted with some sort of temperature inefficiency as well. Sharpies like Greg and Ash are well aware of this but measuring, understanding, and discerning heat rejection gets complicated. Good thing is most of our upgrades benefit heat rejection, increased pressure and lower pressure losses all at the same time.
