That's why some cars can run like ~30psi boost without the engine melting from heat, you may be increasing pressure by 3 times but the amount of air and fuel you're putting in is only ~2 times greater. Okay that wasn't totally accurate about the engine heat, but anyways.

If you keep it up I will bring down "Corky Bell" on your butt!!!!
HaHa
Seriously, anybody not familiar with forced induction systems should read "maximum boost" by Corky Bell, it does a fantastic job of explaining the dynamics, and theory behind turbochargers and turbo systems.
