If you want your turbos spinning faster, all else equal on about 15 psi, then you should keep the stock intake. Just understand that this is a fact.

I understand it is a restriction, but not a LARGE one by that data. This is nothing new in any turbo community.
1-3% duty cycle is
NOT a significant change due to flow. 10% could be, 20% could be. Especially since it was making more then peak boost of the other pulls. It is not hurting the turbos to make 1-3% to justify the same boost. Cars do far more at high altitude to reach peak boost.
If the car was indeed making 15.94 like the other pulls, instead of 16.2 it would probably have LESS increase in duty cycle 1-3% peak.
