However after looking at the compressor map (I think it is the right one) I see you're already well past the best efficiency range, so I retracted my statement.

I'm just saying that as far as efficiency is concerned, if I'm comparing it to a setup I know well (9.5:1 compression and 13.9 WHP per psi from 0-11 psi or 27.5 WHP from vacuum-11 psi) you're down a little on compression so it would be a little harder to get the numbers all else being equal. If you disagree, that's fine. We don't need to get into it if you don't want.

That is an average of 21.5 WHP per every pound of boost from 1-10 PSI.I didn't do that math. I wouldn't begin to guess what the engine would make N/A so I couldn't. Provided those numbers for N/A are close, you're doing much better than I even thought before. 21.5 WHP per psi from 0-10 psi is amazing, and even adjusted to the equivalent for a 2.0L engine (19.35 WHP per psi) those are amazing numbers. Maybe the best I've seen on an SR engine. Clearly the 20V head and your attention to detail/efficiency is showing its value here.

Lots of things getting in the way, although mainly it looks like you're headed off the efficiency of the compressor map at those power levels. The exhaust and intake will help for sure. I just think maybe you're main cause of efficiency loss is the compressor. Obviously much more expensive to address I know.

It looks like it's working very well for you so far, and I like where you're going with the exhaust and the intake. I don't doubt you'll accomplish what you're after. I was just attempting to compare this setup to another efficient setup and give encouragement and praise.
