Message Id like to preface this by saying that I only partially know what Im talking about. I get the physics of it, and am drawing conclusions off of that.

Boost isnt a good measurement of performance. We could go much more in depth on this, but the gist of it is this: To move the same amount of air through the same size pipe, you have to increase the pressure to do so. Also, You can move more air at the same psi, through a larger diameter pipe. Outside of that basic breakdown, as you increase pressure, you increase heat. So Im *assuming* that they have better cooling methods to battle the extra heat caused by the higher pressures.
