[QUOTE="Silver03Termi, post: 8409202, member: 84674"] im not a turbo guy, but i am a math guy and i know that the formula for horsepower is as follows : horse power = (torque x rpm) / 5252 so, given this equation its easy to see a couple of things. first of all when charting tq and h.p. on the same graph they are ALWAYS equal at 5252 rpm. the constant and the r.p.m. variable cancel each other out leaving horsepower = torque. now, having basic knowledge of the torque curve we know that we start losing torque at around 4000rpm but continue to make horsepower. whats happening to your turbos at 4000 rpm? they are makin more boost, and they will continue to make boost im assuming. so youre still losing torque at the same rate but making more boost. whats gonna happen? horseppower increase. im assuming the guys who make more torque than horsepower have boost controllers or something of that nature. also the higher you rev, the more h.p. youll make, look at the equation. like i said, im not a turbo guy, buthis seems pretty straight forward to me.
