2psi of boost is really 2psi over ambiant. Ambiant air is typically around 14.7psi. So basically the air would be at 16.7psi instead of 14.7psi thus only boosting the air pressure about 8%. So as you can see, their claim of 5-20% increases in horsepower are going to be false, because there is no way that only an 8% increase in air pressure will yield those kind of horsepower gains.
