I tried to address this in the op, but it’s kind of buried in the text. The short answer is the power I am at is not due to a limitation of the turbo and solely due to my personal preference. I wanted to make more power and have a lot of headroom on the turbo side. I didn’t have a specific number in mind, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was hoping to be around the 550-600whp range. Once I got there I was good.
I am not an expert on PS2s for the n54, so I did some quick googling to learn how much boost they are running to achieve the power you mention. It seems around 30psi but someone please correct me if I am wrong. Also would be nice to understand the specifics of the tune. My current tune is not aggressive to achieve my current power.
Seeing an n54 PS2 Dyno at 25psi would nice to compare, but my guess is the power would be similar to where I am at. I could run 30psi, but not interested right now. I am sure it will happen down the road and it’s good to know the boost is there when I am ready.
