It does make 19, but it tapers off pretty quickly

PSI doesn't equal power. It is just part of the equation. you have to factor boost pressure with size and effiency of turbo, pipe and TB diameter, compression, A/F mix, timing, exhaust flow, and many, many other things.

Consider that some turbo diesel trucks only run about 5 psi and make LOTS more power than stock Evos.

EDIT: Mine hits 1.4 bar according to the stock gauge. Thats 20.3 psi or so. But the weather has cooled off a bit down here.
