I understand but at the same time they uprate the water, oil and transmission cooling systems.
In other words, don't bring your turbo boost up to 1.5 BAR and then expect to use that extra power to pull hills without making major changes elsewhere. This leads right back to my original statement......

Typically, there aren't many places in a daily commute that you can use 400HP ;) Maintaining speed on the highway uses the same amount of HP regardless, and if you keep your EGTs under 1200F there does not appear to be any additional wear on the engine. The 3/4 and 1 ton trucks have done this for over a decade... and they TOW with the increased HP.
