Who knows why the Turbo Injectors are set at a higher pressure?

My though is that when the Turbo is working it packs more Air Volume into the Cylinder. When this Air is compressed in the Cylinder it is much denser (thicker) than it would be in the non-turboed Engine. This means the Injector Spray has to penatrate through thicker/denser air. An Injector with a lower pop pressure will not penatrate as far as one with a highe pop pressure; so they raised the opening/pop pressure.

So I think in the case of using Turbo Injectors in a non-turbo Engine the Injector spray would penatrate further into the Prechamber than in would with the 115 bar pop pressure.

In the long term would this cause damage; like burning up your Ball Pin? I do not know.
