Ok... it may sound like a stupid question but what exactly does more psi do to the turbo? Does it make the fan turn faster cause there is more vacuum?

Thanks!

the blades spin faster pressurising the air more.

increases the pressure of the air the turbo produces...but yes, it is because the wheel is spinning faster.

more pressure in the same volume = more air. more air + more fuel = more power

spins faster, and the wastegate stays closed longer allowing for longer boost, once you reach your set boost psi, the wastegate vents, I LOVE TURBOS!!
