Okay glad you guys figured that out..

Now back to my original retarded programming: I've been told by a pro tuner that an uber-flowing plenum a-la-APS is a waste of money on an FI application because the turbos already force the air down the manifolds. The benefit of "bigger, better flowing" is thus defeated, unlike N/A applications. Does this sound right ?

And to confirm my understanding of the original answers. If I have cams that do not overlap and keep the air in longer (and are thus better for F/I), then for the same amount of boost from the turbochargers I can generate more HP, correct ?

You are increasing airflow, the airflow that the turbochargers make is going to be regulated, but you are increasing airflow through another way by allowing more air to enter the plenum (and other sciences that I don't have the experience to explain (increasing efficiency))

Regardless, numerous dynometer pulls prove his theory wrong in almost every turbocharged car's situation.
