Message our stock turbo drop below 60% efficiency at ~17-18 psi with the airflow that our engine requires.

What is funny is that the stock turbo are not too bad at 18 psi, as long as you do not rev over 4-4500 rpm. The trush bearing (washer) on the front of the turbo is not designed for these loads and wears quickly.
