Its a power pipe, it gives most all of its extra hp by increasing the boost pressure. Imagine 1 or 2 more lbs of boost and the hp increase from it, and thats what you get

don't you love the "up to"?
on my car I went from a 65mm to a 75 t/b got 4 pound of more boost about 42hpit really depense how bad it is...2 psi would be a good start about 17-22hp on maybe a 10psi system
