OEM turbochargers are much smaller and run out of breath much sooner, while we've been pushing past 300whp (wheel, not crank) at 10~11psi on 92 octane fuel. That's still 4~6psi before the turbo starts running out of breath.
If you are refering to me, then I apologize. I don't completely understand what turbo you are using. I just thought it was slightly smaller than a GT2871R which I don't consider a large turbo either. I guess the reason is that I can look up the stats on an off the shelf turbo, but I believe your kit comes with a custom turbo, and I haven't seen the stats on it.
