That's because when your 22psi on 91oct causes knock, your ECU automatically pulls timing, which saps power. You wouldn't know this was happening unless you were using a logger. The engine isn't just going to blow up because you're boost is higher than it should be. We have intelligent ECUs to compensate for unintelligent drivers.
