Quit comparing boost values from Evos to our cars and saying that our engines run low boost.
Go boost a Toyota Corolla LS and see that the con. rods on those engines begin to twist at 6psi. Now all of a sudden N54 running 14.5psi is insane amount of boost.
Long story short: boost values should not be used for comparing engines. Period!

Using PSI as a unit of power is about as good as using compression ratio as an indication of hp. "My Honda civic R is better than your Corvette ZR1 because it has a compression ratio of 11.0:1 while your mullet mobile only has a cr of 9:1. See you on the track, loser!"
I'm actually agreeing with Vasil 100%. What is this world coming to?
