You're with me. Always be conservative (or realistic) on numbers.
Wang accepted it, because making record with less power is something to be happy about.
Generally, hybrid turbo is overrated, even more so in N55 world where there's no real competitions as of yet.
Let me be completely unbiased by saying this - STG1 turbo is not a rewarding mod in terms of power. All it nets you is 20whp more in peak and a better top end.
Everything being equal, PS2 flows 3psi more, beyond that it's pushing turbo off efficiency. Plus it's already out of pump gas territory. So credit also goes to higher octane and cooling liquid. PS2 is less restrictive from turbine end for sure but god knows by how much. For 500+whp it's just a little too ambitious if your dyno reads right.

Great post Sean! Confirm what I have always been saying. Maxing out the PS2 will not net you 500whp - more likely 500 crank hp and change.
