Default Is this turbo equation from a mag correct? please check

X = PSI
Y = NA stock HP

(X/14.7)*(1+Y) = estimate of hp made @ X psi.


This is pretty cool if its close. I dont rember the mag.

Turbos aren't uniform in size and flow. Therefore general power/psi estimates hold no weight in the real world.

If I am seeing it correctly then anything under 14.7 psi will make less power than stock which is obviously not right.
