That's not a very good relationship. If you dyno at differnt boost levels, or show a graph of boost vs hp, you will find that it isn't linear like that. Otherwise you could run 100psi and have huge amounts of hp. But it doesn't work like that.



Absolute mercury? Never heard of that before, information and explenation please.

um, each turbo on a certain motor can be calculated to a near HP gain though. Im talking stock twin turbos, with the stock flow graphs, there deff is a way to calculate HP to BOOST ratio
