I've heard this theory peddled and I saw the video. Max boost, at least for the USDM FL5, is 25.2 psi per a press release last fall. If my formula is correct that's ~1.75 bar. I also wouldn't get too hung up on the boost numbers you see in the video. It's impossible to make declarative statements about the boost curve by watching a video. The Bosch ECU will modulate boost pressure based on several factors, including, but not limited to throttle input, altitude, ambient temperature, gear, RPM. This Type R S Grade variant very well may run more boost, have different gearing, etc. but that remains to be proven. The subtext is: I need more information to stand on a specific position.
