In addition, I think someone above mentioned at 22 PSI this engine would put down 700, I tend to think it would be a lot more if it was possible?

You own a 335, so you probably know that there are a number of tuned N54's that have posted boost pressures of 19-20 psi with stock turbos on six cylinders
But your point is taken.....you would need to move a lot more air with 8 cylinders than with four.
Which just reinforces that the twin turbo eight in this press release is probably pushing 7-8 psi -as it would take larger turbos to pressurize an eight cylinder engine up to 22 psi and introduce more lag and a rubber band like power delivery.
