What 'People all over Nasioc' think doesn't matter, because I said nothing about peak numbers. And I said nothing about how MUCH boost, or where, or for how long. All I said was that this turbo has more in it, and there's no question of that. But you just made my point, that it CAN make more power. I assume that these guys know what they're doing, but with new injectors and fuel pump and a good tune, this turbo will out-perform a VF39 from mid to top-end.
