This is why telling someone how much boost you run, doesn't really give any inclination as to what kind of power you're putting out. 8lbs of boost, isn't just 8lbs of boost.

Exactly. It's all about where on the compressor efficiency table you are running. You will find that running a turbo with a bigger compressor housing at say 8psi would net the same as running a smaller turbo at say 12psi, all because the air coming out of the turbo at 12psi will be hotter, therefore less dense. Heat retention/input is a turbo engine's enemy.
