Care to explain that a bit more? Horsepower is a calculated with torque and RPM.

(Torque x RPM) / 5,252 = Horsepower

In theory, increasing torque also increases horsepower which would result in a faster vehicle.

He is right, you get more torque cuz you run more boost in the lower RPM but then you run out of turbo to support the airflow at the higher RPM so the torque drops off up there as well as HP since like you said, HP is nothing more then torque x RPM and there is not enough turbo to support the airflow to motor in the higher RPM to make the HP.

Cool turbo's none the less!

Would be sweet on a mid-mount setup.. Or even front mounted for that matter...
