I think when somebody says they are running 5 psi or whatever, thats the amount of compression that the turbo is feeding back into the intake. I guess compressed air combusts better/more readily, etc. So the more compression you have, the more combustion you have. But too high and run into detonation issues.

somebody correct me if im talking out my ass.
