measuring boost and calculating hp
is there some sort of scale to translate hp from the amount of boost. if a stock d16a6 has 108hp and you turbocharge it and its running 5lbs of boost how much power would that be. I know that the amount probably varies, but an estimate will work or if you know a site with more info please share.

Too many variables to consider to give an accurate estimation.

I made a Microsoft Works Spreadsheet using data and formulas pulled from SCC tech articles over the last year. It's fairly accurate.
You have to figure in lots of variables to be dead on it.
Somewhere around 140-150hp
