its all about volume, well that and the engine itself.
you cant just put a turbo in a car shell, connect the turbo to the trans, turn on the turbo with some switch an driveaway.
a turbo by itself makes no hp.

no turbo has a specific amount of horsepower production. how much power the turbo makes all depends on everything else, motor manifold design, exhaust size and restrictions....etc etc.
there's no way to be like "oh at 10psi that turbo is adding 132.456hp to your car"

Would different ports affect how boost affects the car's hp levels too?
