If you are boosting you don't have to rev it. You are delivering the volume of air you need to make the power you want without having to increase the engine speed.

You only have to rev a motor as a necessity when you can't make power down in a reasonable RPM range. The higher you rev the more stress you place on the rotating assembly which hurts reliability. It's not a goal, it's a requirement.

Sure, it sound great, but please stop treating it like it's a good thing. MY CA18DET lived a while with a T04E on it and made power everywhere. My CA18DE made power, well, nowhere, and the only way to get anything done I had to keep it over 7K. When I tore down the turbo motor it looked fine, just a clean up bore and rings. When I tore down the NA motor the bearings were wiped badly from stretched rod bolts. Revs do damage.

Please tell me more
