You only get the extra boost under 5500rpm which is when the solenoid opens
to allow more boost so overall there is no extra kw at the wheels but the
0-60 challenge will be a lot better as you got up to 14psi at 3000rpm and not
5500.

As for whats involved in a BPT conversion thats what the big sticky in forced
induction is for.
