It doesn't really matter how much boost once the turbo has enough capacity. It matters how much RPM you spin the engine.
For example say you limited rpm to 6000. Well no matter how much "bigger and better" the turbo gets, even the best turbo in the world at 18psi is not going to touch 500whp with a 2.0L engine.
Ex math,
122x6000/3456 = 211CFM * 0.069 = 14.6lb/min * (2.22) = 320 horsepower without drivetrain losses.
So now lets take a 2.0L engine at 7psi with a "very efficient turbo" except this time we spin the engine to 9,800rpm
122x9800/3456 = 345.9 * .069 = 23.87lb/min * 1.5 = 358bhp
So less boost, more power, because more rpm.
but you knew that.
