it would actually be exaggerated over those, since it's probably 10-12% lower than a dynojet reading.
but what you really need to plot against is the torque; which would show how much it's spiking over the "norm" albiet those plots are from 2007-08

That makes sense. I was wondering how it was making so many mad torques.
EDIT:
Brain, Do you know all the specifics of that old chart comparing the 3 turbos?
I saved it a while ago but didnt name it properly so I dont remember if its a B6 or BP, etc.

So it drops from about 13psi at its peak down to about 7psi in the top end. That's quite a dropoff. I guess you aren't going to blow anything up at 7psi with a tiny turbo at the top of the rev range. That is a very unusual boost plot and is why everyone was worried as hell. If the boost curve had been 13psi to redline with that torque curve then you would have been in serious trouble, but as it is it is just an amusing quirk.

I think the designation for this turbo would be "T-to small". It looks like a TD03-9b or there about in size.

That is because his turbo is WAYYYYY out of it's efficiency islands even making 8 psi at 6800. If the OP turned the boost down to 5 psi peak, it would make what we consider a "normal" looking graph and peak around 150 WHP on a dynojet.

fortunately, that's not the case at all.
