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?
This is my understanding
No difference.
x hp is x hp = x amount of stress on "internal" components.
hp = volume of air and fuel shoved in the cylinder and ignited.
The valves might wear different tho.?

If this volume is achieved from 2bar using small turbo's or 1.2 bar using a big one / no different.


The "other" question , higher boost = more stress on the turbo.

Its all about the volume of air moved and the time it takes to move it.
isnt it ...
A bigger turbo pushes more volume per impellor segment which is why it makes more power with less psi.

Correct me if Im wrong
lol
