The part that i cant understand is know for fact that turbos dont get pushed to the limit on stock car like GTI, EVO and so on. You should always be able to boost more but not only 1 or 2 PSI that will give me like 10 HP or 15 thats it. ON s4 and GTI they boost from 7 to 16 and 22 PSI and they still run fine. I assume that EVO engine is much stronger than GTI and S4 engines.

Those cars come off the line with improperly selected turbos, thats all.

The evo is utilizing its turbo, while those other cars are not.

Yea the 2G's were 450's..... Im surprised we got 560's and not 550s!!
