That's a very good #. I think it's important to list turbo size though.

i.e. A T3 Super 60 would produce the same #'s, at about 15-16 lbs of boost. However, it would be about 70% efficient doing so, and spool a hell of a lot faster, giving it a wider power band, and cooler air than the T3/T4 57 @ the same power level. (About 60% efficient @ 10 lbs)

I mean, it's all good, if you're comparing apples and apples. You don't want the guy going and getting, for instance, a T series or Thumper, and boosting 10 psi. It's not the same. Just like getting a straight T04E series, or T3 isn't the same......

You can't just generically say "10 psi".....

A T3 Super 60 will run it at 16-17, be in its efficiency, and produce the same power, probably more safely, with little or no risk of surge if you crank it up a bit.....

This is what I'm trying to get across. Remember, its not just you and the thread starter reading this, with an understanding that it's a T3/T04E 57 trim turbo. It's a bunch of people, who will try a lot of different stuff, and come out with a LOT different results, including blown motors at less psi, and far lower power levels at the same psi....
