I think you guys are getting confused on the pressure. 22psi isn't that much. Most people (honda people) are used to 12psi being high for hondas. That's well below what a stock evo will push from the factory.

What do you mean "will push from the factory"? Stock boost is set to 19 psi.

Anyway all this vid proves is that from a roll a normally aspirated 10 lb/hp car has better throttle response than a heavily turbocharged 10 lb/hp car. That would seem to be self evident.

I don't think you understood my post.

People are thinking that 22psi is alot but for an evo when it's only 3psi more than stock

Not only that, but the AWD drivetrain loses lots of power between the crank and the ground....they're not nearly as quick on the freeway as 2wd cars.
