Do you think a turbo is the same as your music? you can turn it up ? The turbo has a maxium flow at a pressure, most turbos that are not special hi boost types have a max presure of 14 to 16 psi (that is the pressure they will flow the most volume )@ 75 to80% effiency,if you increase the pressure out of this,you decrease the effiency and heat the air more and make no more power. The test is to get the engine to make the most power at the lowest boost not the highest, if you want to be it "Im running more boost than you club" then turn it UP! If you want reliable power turn it down and fix the things that stop good flow. Cams are a good way to start, they dont have to be hot, just a bit more lift and advance the timing a little, you would belive the responce.All supras will have a smog type cam timming,this is a ez upgrade while doing your cam belt and degree the cam in, this what the pros do, the amatuars buy shiny bits off E bay
