That would make sense, although 30 to 45 Lbs of boost would along the line of Big Daddy's TF dragster! Seriously, I don't know if it's a one# for one# direct comparison, I would doubt it. Anyway, Porsche's boost gauge is in "bar". (15 lbs = 1 bar) Hope this helps.

Seal level pressure is about 15 lbs...considered one bar....
so 2 bar would be 30 lbs....3 bar 45 lbs..etc....

In other words:

1 bar MAP for NA
2 bar MAP up to 15psi boost
3 bar MAP over 15psi boost
