11psi is not 11psi.
Ever heard of Shaft speed? Its been proven time and time again, you put to much air behind a tiny turbo, it will spin apart. But I guess, since I"ve only seen this first hand, in person, my experiences aren't valid. The point is the factory flapper (remember this is an oem car) can't handle the boost at higher load. Maybe it could handle it at factory boost, I've never tested it.
Why doesn't someone just swap one in and see how it does?
