MY 'tiny' turbo is boosting 'Just Fine' to 20+ psi in my direct experiences.. on my McMaster Carr 2% accurate industrial gauge.
Notably this is the First "smaller" turbo I've owned...this was all new territory for me as well. I too initially believed the 'lore'.. It seemingly isn't accurate, at least on my car.
I've found boost / perf levels to be quite good. Lower rpm boost onset is desirable imo (and it isn't That much lower, perhaps 500 rpms) A fair tradeoff for the "potential" of the larger turbo to run 25 + psi.
Dana: You can readily 'up' running boost by setting Base boost at the upper range of it's Saab spec. More if you dare :-)
