40psi is just waaaay past the efficiency range of a turbo that small, you would just be blowing hot air at that boost level even with E85. A fellow style member's car was up to 31 or so on the dyno and the higher we went the less power we made so we ended up going back down to 29psi because the turbo was simply out of breath.

Also according to this website, the highest boost any of these guys were running on a 16g was 31.5 psi

If someone here is running 40psi on a 16g, I want to see the setup because that would be a hell of a feat!
