Like George mentioned, if you take a BIG turbo @ 10 psi and compare it to a little tiny stock turbo @ 10 psi, they very rarely put out the same power. Why? Lots of reasons, but first is probably the amount of air one moves vs the other. Both may be at 10 psi, but the bigger turbo flows more air (volume wise) and therefore usually has the potential for more power overall. Also the efficiency range is quite different. A big turbo @ 10 psi may not even be breaking a sweat, whereas a tiny turbo could be close to being maxed out @ 10 psi and is really pumping nothing but hot air.

Please don't flame me on the numbers as they are stricly hypothetical.

well.. you said what i was about to say.. bastard! lol

anyway.. jaime is pretty much right

good post George.. you should try posting stuff like ethis out of the whoreslounge though.. for more views and responses.
