ok so im not the biggest on turboes obviously...i heard that people put bigger turbos in their car n i didn tthink it was very smart cuz they were pushin the same amount of psi that they were with the smaller turbo. i thought the bigger the turbo the more psi it can boost so ppl upgrade them cuz the smaller turboes cant push nemore or w/e. i dunno. so on a bigger turbo 10 psi isnt the same as 10 psi on a smaller turbo?? im lost!!!! please help!

Its all about the amount of air a turbo can flow. A ko3 can't flow close to what GT35 can. 20 psi on a ko3 and 20psi on a gt35 would be extremely different.

Re: turbo question!!!! (ernied79)

3 things to consider.
1. Pressure (measured in psi)
2. Heat
3. Volume of air
If you make the same pressure with less heat and more volume, you are moving more air and more importantly more DENSE air and more oxygen.
