Hi All,

I have read a lot of posts regarding turbo comparisons, and I was wondering about the affects of what boost pressure you are running, on an engine making the same power?
I am wondering if there is, say, more stress on an engine if you are, for example, making a 320awkw with 2860-5/2530s as opposed to a GT-SS setup making the same power.
What I mean is, the 2530s would be making that same power with less boost pressure required, yes?
So therefore, would the GT-SS setup that is running higher boost to achieve that number be putting more stress on the engine, or is there no difference, because to make that power the engine is at a certain stress level regardless of boost?
Make sense?

Not sure if this has been answered before in one of the myriad similar "Which Turbo" topics, so apologies if it has, but I have read a lot of them and didn't see that particular question asked before...

Cheers!
