oh yeah btw psi is really relative to the amount of flow from the turbo.
10psi from a small turbo flowing 190cfm is not the same as 10psi from a turbo flowing 300cfm

I'm bias when I say go with inline esp. if your a local if your not well I would still give them my business. They are great guys who take the time to answer your questions even if they are dumb or make them mad which they don't show =) When I took my car in to check for a leak they did it for free (a bolt from my wastegate backed out on the hard to see side) this was before I was really educated and I'm still learning but they were more than helpful. Don't really know how much lovefab will help you if you ever have any questions or need help but I know inline has been there to help as fair as possible. I'd give them my business any day as I intend to continue to.

FINALLLY thank you richard paul for posting!!!!!!! He's correct.
Yes there are some other things to consider, such as turbo efficiency etc. However, really the other things are all seperate. 10psi is 10psi, excluding temp and humidity of course.
the other things are on the negative side rather then the boost side... such as how much power does the turbo TAKE in order to GIVE power which is the efficiency part. Sure a turbo with very little blow by and making power in the most efficient part of its map will do best. Still.... 10psi is 10psi it doesn't matter how it gets there.

In this case 10 psi is not 10 psi. The pressure upstream of the engine (boost pressure) is only half of the story. We must know what's going on downstream of the engine to be able to compare whats going on upstream.
