That chart makes no sense, why is boost dropping off at the high end, compressor surge? Or am I missing something obvious? Is it a restrictor?

Going off the chart 60kPa max boost sounds like it will get us the ~280hp we are looking for on this car.

And by the way, I dunno how that Torotrack supercharger is going to do since electric superchargers and mild hybrid systems ("start stop" systems that actually provide a small degree of regeneration count too) go hand in hand, and electric supercharger development is underway by OEMs already. Electric is technically better since CVT will realistically have a limited range of reduction ratios available while electric can operate on full blast at idle and give a really big kick of torque.
