Boost

If you step on it in mid second or third I peak out at 11.8 psi for a few seconds and even out at about 10.0 psi.

They BOTH produce 10psi, but they only flow half the air at that one turbo would flow at that pressure.H-Dogg said:
pressure x volume = flow
flow = power
increasing pressure (boost) will increase flow and therefor power.
Volume is the trapped displacement of the engine, with the level of knowledge you've shown you're at now, don't even begin to consider fucking with that, I'm not meaning to be hard on you, but odds are high that it's beyond you.

That's not entirely correct.Junior said:
While there is an increase in flow within the engine due to the positive manifold pressure pushing a little more air into the cylinders, the majority of the power increase comes from the DENSER air charge. It's all about the number of oxygen molecules per volume of air.
If you pushed your turbocharger way beyond its efficiency, even if the boost was higher, the air could be so hot that the density is the same, so increasing boost will not necessarily increase power
Damn turbos are so complicated.
