why new FP big16g no make power?

[scheides]

Fatty, he's right. 16g vs 13g vs 14b is not going to make much difference at 13psi or whatever. First question, are there any boost leaks? Was there an actual boost leak test done? Next question, what other mods are done? Spaz's car is a prime example of why a 16g won't make any power over a T25. He's running it with literally everything else stock. Remember, making power is all about the combo, not just one particular part (remember at the dyno day when an hta88 made the same power as my 16g-sized turbo?).

Don't know how I missed this thread yesterday, but thanks for pointing that out, Scheides, that was my first thought when I read the first post.

And beyond that, you won't notice a huge difference with a few extra psi because there won't be a huge difference in feel, despite the fact that it may make a huge difference in numbers. A good example of this that we've all heard about is my car vs ylime's. She put down ~50awhp more than me on MAP's dyno and beat the fuck out of me on the highway, and yet when I rode in it, my butt dyno didn't feel anywhere near as large of a difference as I was expecting for that kind of gap.

You can't rely on feel alone to tell you how much of a gain you're seeing.
