No its not.The PSI is the same.The CFM is different.What your missing is that presure and volume are 2 different things.The higher volume is needed couse its a bigger engine.The psi is still the same.

35 PSI in your fuel rail is the same as 35 PSI in my plumming pipes.The volume will be the only diference.Otherwise they would need to make boost guages to match the turbo.The boost guage could care less what turbo you have.Its just reading pressure.

Thats exactly what i wrote in the original post, d16. "7 pounds with an rhb5 is different then 7 pounds with a t88." The boost guage will read 7 pounds with both setups, but the cfm is different. this is why I used the squirt gun and water hose example. PSI is the same, volume is different. We are on the same page d16.........

No were not.As I read this^^^^ I see that you say its different so how are we on the same page?You are not agreeing that 7 pounds is 7 pounds.Please read your post!
