Yes I agree. The thing is boost down low is easy to get when the little 2.0 engine is not that efficient. It's up top that is hard.

In talking with Rob I think he said 20kw for 6 psi at redline.

Right now the system uses about 3.5kw and makes 5psi down low. My setup with 1.5 conversion and tq300 is about 4.5kw. The cooling requirements above 5kw change as well same with the amperage requirements of the controller. Everything keeps getting bigger and hotter the more watts you push through the system.
