Mine ran out of rpms and was just climbing straight up haha. It looks like the turbo line gets to a point and says f this and kinda flat lines what's that about?
When you have a centrifugal based blower the higher you spin the RPM's the more pressure you will make. This is demonstrated by your boost curve being a constant flat progressing line. So your power will keep climbing with the boost which hides some aspects of your engine such as the natural curve of the cam profile.
With the turbo system the boost is not a constant progressive pressure, it's all in and linear pressure from 3200rpm or so, this constant fixed pressure value allows the natural shape of the cars power curve (albiet enhanced by pressure from the turbo) to show.
So you see your engine make higher peak power with a more straight line growth to the curve due to the fact your pressure is always being increased so the curve is distorted into more of a straight line. Your power would keep climbing with RPM until you reached a point of A: the motor exploded, B: the head unit of the centrifugal was so overspun it was out of efficiency range, C: the belt could no longer maintain the friction between pulley and belt and loses traction.
Then again, i'm sure if we were at 14-15psi at redline this whole conversation would be mute as the curves would be no where near eachother anywhere above 2500rpm.
