Again how is it theory........???????
I started out dynoing at 19psi and moved up to 24psi, 1-2psi at a time. The gains were evident per psi. Went from 402 at 19psi to 461 at 24psi so thats almost 12whp per psi of boost. So just going off that if you stay in the efficiency range of the turbo the gains usually stay true.
That mixed with the new manifold what is wrong with me saying i was in the range of 520-550whp, I was right on my guess on what i would make when i first went to dyno.
Your right though. Theory will only get you soo far but for the most parts with evidence before it it usually stays true. I really dont get what the big deal of me guestimating what i was making is.
So just with the added 6psi of boost not taking into account the aftermarket manifold and Q45 TB, that is 60-70whp more, then gains from the manifold which only get more with added boost. So yeah 520-550whp is a pretty safe guestimate.
But who am i to argue. I only built, tuned, and drive my own car and put it up against others and felt every day how it was. Who am i to say anything. Really.
