Exactly... PSI of boost is quite simply how much the compressor need to compress the air to provide X amount of CFM at Y amount of temp with Z amount of ambient pressure and of course at XX shaft speed. Like I said...variables galore.

basically the better the design and the bigger the turbo the more HP you can get from it but it takes longer to spool.

in the case of greddy vs TN.. the 2 greddy are 18g turbos. which are not small by all means.. just not as big as the TN 60-1. but with 2 of them you end up with more flow.

Still more airflow...but less of an INCREASE in mass air for each PSI increase in pressure. And yes..hotter air temps.

In all honesty the decision is yours to make. Suffice to say that on a stock motor you will not be disappointed no matter what you choose.
