One of the biggest problem I was having is my boost controller hose popping off under load. On one pull, the hose popped off at about 3500rpm and I continued to stay W.O.T. to see what type of power the car would produce. Well, believe or not and I have no reason to tell a lie, I watched the boost gauge while I grinded away at the pedal and glimpsed at boost tachometer, the boost needle was on 2 psi or 2 ticks past the "0" and just sat there through the remainder of the run. The car made 192whp and 181 lb/ft of torque on 2 measely pounds of boost? We all laughed at that, but it was cool to see as well. Just some food for thought.

That means that your engine would produce about 175whp in naturally aspirated form? And that is from internally stock motor? I don't get it
