Don't get mislead into boost numbers, they're not everything see, to give an example a larger turbo can output more air at a lower psi than a smaller turbo at higher PSI.... Not to mention our cars are tuned but torque demand and that will change from engine to engine and environmental factors. A better question is how much power are you looking to make?

I'm not big turbo yet, but I feel the S280 will be on the upper end of it's limit for that level of power... I myself have my eye on a GTX2860, which can supply that level of power easily! Though I'm looking for 3-330whp with room to grow when I get bored of the power
