JIM. S,

No max boost should not equal horses.

Fuel =power(HP), the boost(condensed air) helps to achieve it.

Different size turbos will change air mass delivered to engine, or changing waste gate specs.

Unrestricting exhaust will gain you a few horses. (Relieving back pressure).

One of the reasons they started to use turbos on the big diesels was so they could run at higher speeds, the waste gates on turbos helped to get the truck/car out of its own way( smaller turbo tunnels).



I will research TDR magizines I know this was written about a few times.
