why does a chip and 1.5 psi more would get you 25% more power?? is a "good tuning" necessary means more HP? the answer is NO! because you can lean out your tuning and certainly to get more HP but the trade off is that you are giving too much stress to your motor and it will not last long.
a side note is that i heared from many car shops that those turbo cars with crazy HP (most of 4 bangers) were featured on the magazines, many of them blow the motor after the dyno for magazines...because they were pushing the limit. This created a wrong conceptual that the car can get xxx hp easily.....but the fact is the car doesnt last long with that power.
what i am trying to correct you is that i felt you are creating a hype with some uncertain points.
