    Thats not my logic! Its yours. And I dont think we are going to agree on this, so I'm out.

    Turbos make more power the superchargers at the same boost level because they dont have the parasitic power loss from the crank.

    I've actually heard some good things about this kit. although it hasn't been out very long so its not very "proven" yet.

    Posting something like this shows how ignorant you are to turbos and forced induction as a whole. What power a turbo makes is heavily dependant on compressor/turbine effeciency.

    A gt40 turbo and a gt55 turbo at the same boost levels are going to create completely different power levels.

    If you had thought out what you were trying to write you could have said. "Turbochargers have less parasitic losses in comparison to Superchargers."

    People put too much heart into "PSI" when in reality it plays a smaller role in the whole operation of forced induction. Effeciency is the key to making power with a turbo. Running a turbo or turbos with a compressor map designed to work well with your application is what it's really about.

    Great, look at my video . Now pulling 9 psi and making about 440rwhp is my guess as at 8.22 psi made 424rwhp.
    Going to lower to 8 psi soon just to be safe, my tuner says ok to leave it 9 psi.:shrug:
