That might be true sometimes, maybe even usually, but not _ALWAYS_...
There's a crowd here in Sydney called S & R Pro who do a lot of turbo bikes - I've seen their little 250cc Yamaha Zeal with a dyno chart showing 84hp - and they only stopped there 'cause it was doing 16,000rpm and the bottom end had never been opened so they didn't want to push it any further. They've got a dyno chart on their site (
http://www.sandrpro.com/) of a 415hp 'busa running "only" 18 lbs boost, a 225hp GSXR1000 running 6lbs... Some "turbo guys" _do_ back up their claims with both dyno charts and timeslips :-)
I wouldn't be _too_ surprised by an S4 getting an 80% hp increase from a properly designed and built system running 15lbs or so of boost - it'd be a pretty expensive job to make it reliable though...
