That is correct, however, tuning it not to detonate (or worse, pre-ignite) means less power at higher boost levels. If tuning "correctly" could compensate for pressure ratios outside of a given turbo's efficiency range, there would only be one turbo on the market for every application and we'd all be pushing 45 psi through it and making 500 whp.
