I guess Mike from RRE must be an idiot too. He pushed 400 at the wheels of his EVO. When he hit that, he was readily willing to blow the motor. He let the turbo boost untill it couldn't boost any higher. He purely wanted to see what it could take. And the motor took it, didn't break anything. The HP number he hit was purely turbo limited. They had the turbo on that thing maxed out. Sometimes research costs some money. It might sound insane to me and you, but to the people who have the money and the resources to take things to their limits for research, then it's worth it to them.
