In theory, the VTT should EASILY hold 25/26psi, and if/when jb4 can control boost over 20psi, this thing should make a min another ~50whp...

We wont know until its tried...i'm trying to instigate jeff to install it and try it, i'm optimistic that the n55 internals can hold 550-600 and beyond
terry setup the 3.5 bar map sensor and displayed that the turbo will not hold boost at 25/26 easily at all... Go to his site and look at the results, it was extensively tested with the higher boost and saw no gains... the PWM is maxed meaning the housing is maxed... its still good power but these assumptions are all in correct. Let data talk after you look for that data before you capitalize EASILY when its already been proven to not be easy or even possible to come close to that yet.
