Thanks ruan was hoping you'd comment...
I understand most of that, but (please tell me where I am going wrong here) when I think about it as long as your turbo is in its efficiency range and the turbo flows enough for the engine. The higher the psi the better (within the island)?
The other thing that confuses me is on the graph for the gt 15.. how does it flow the same at 2.2 and 1.8? surely it should flow more at 2.2? If not why would you run it at 2.2, when you can save some of the turbo life?
And is the flow a positive correlation between that and the psi? as when you fulfil what the engine requires (e.g the cylinder) and there is a restriction, only then will the psi go up. Obviously the more you can flow the higher the psi can get to (Given its the same engine)? or am I talking out of my arse?
