Re-read the posts that I quoted. They were written as absolutes.

Grady acknowledged the effect of efficiency on IATs in his initial post. The only thing to add to that was turbo power consumption. To say "a larger turbo achieves lower IATs" simply isn't correct. It is actually going to be wrong most of the time because people are most likely going to pick the right turbo for their application on the first attempt. So, even if it wasn't a bad example, you were still making a point that no one was arguing.

Also, Grady's point was that no amount of efficiency change would allow for 6 psi to make 360 rwhp on 93 octane, and that is correct.
