and if that 307 whp is from my dyno run, I'll remind you again that the boost controller wasn't even configured.
I ran 12 psi for several months, I didn't get a chance to revisit the dyno, but it's a lot faster than at 9 psi. Similar to stock vs greddy kit in terms of how much faster it feels.

As long as you're OK with your argument being silly, I'm OK with it too.
In fact, I wouldn't call that an argument. More of an admission that you can't back up what you're saying and you're just prodding to try to get the desired results.

12 psi generally speaking, isn't too big a deal. However you will want to have proper supporting mods. For example: you might find that your fuel requirements exceed the capacity of your stock injectors.

are you talking about that one guy who had the only greddy turbo that made 300? a fluke like that doesn't count unless it's reproducible. For all we know, the dyno machine wasn't calibrated.

As has been said repeatedly, PSI isn't really meaningful. 9 psi on the greddy turbo is different then 9 psi on the 3071.

It is not meaningful if you're comparing one turbo to another. Yea, 9 psi would be different between the two turbo's I knew there would be different variables then results since I had two different turbo kits on my 350z and found a few surprises which also seemed to me were many flaws throughout the process but it's obviously not a RX8. Of course, you are right about supporting mods. Still learning about my RX8, I assume.....
