leaning out at 6psi or whatever it is, I hypothesize that if my fuel
system is good enough for my engine at 6000 rpm, I should be able to run
1 bar (~15psi) at 3000 rpm and have enough fuel. It is twice as much air
as normally aspirated but at half the rpm so ~half the fuel is used.

Is it though? at 1 bar you *know* air is entering the cylinders at 2 bar
absolute, right, so that's x many moles of O2.  A normally sucking car
does not draw air in at 1 bar absolute, there is some vacuum and that is
the key.  maybe its only 1/2 bar, so the turbowhining engine needs FOUR
times the fuel.  for example, hypothetically...
