"Overboost:
On the N55B30T0 engine, the torque is increased from 465 Nm/343 lb-ft to 500 Nm/369 lb-ft (overboost) by a brief increase in the charging pressure of 0.1 bar above the normal charging pressure."
Does this equals to more horsepower as well, or only more torque?. I donīt get how those two are not related
Thanks

By definition, any increase in torque creates a corresponding increase in power at any given RPM.
As posted, peak HP might not increase, because the extra torque (and accompanying extra HP) is produced at a lower RPM and doesn't exceed the peak HP.
