Turbo ?

Ok straight up how can just upgrading a turbo just the turbo give you more power. At the same PSI.

It doesn't, it all relates to intake temperature and PSI. The same PSI on a different turbo may only come on a different RPM, Faster, Slower, etc. The same PSI is the same PSI to the motor, it won't know the difference.

It's about flow, not pressure.

Think about 10psi in a straw, then 10 psi in a 3" pipe. which holds more air?

That analogy doesn't doesn't work. As long as the turbo is supplying X PSI and holding, that means flow isn't what's lacking. Also, if flow as the only issue at hand, why would it be measured by pressure?
