well for most kits the rule for boost is about 3% hp gain for every pound of boost.....its not really accurate, but it will give an approximate hp. So if he is pushing 10 psi on a D16Y8 w/ 127 hp he now has 165bhp or so.... The mani will help some, but not a whole lot. His car will have roughly as much power as a B16, by my figuring.

Correct me if im wrong.

1lb boost (if within turbo effeceny) is good for 10fwhp

but reamber psi and airflow are 2 diffrent things. airflow is what matters most..
