Boost pressure is a byproduct of your engines VE and your target BHP nothing more, it cannot be used as a 'meassuring stick'

But it isnt what I think anyway.... if TT state their Stage 3 cant flow enough for 300bhp how is it you or anyone else knows better??
typically the limit of a turbo is the exhaust housings flow, go bigger and it'll give more power, but also more lag to a point of course.
then there is the compressor side to consider.
you can get over 300bhp out of a t3, but you need more displacement and good VE, higher compression engines will get you there.
