Airflow VS. Boost

For the purpose of discussion and learning, let's say my "95 automatic truck makes 15 pounds of boost max at any point. If I put in boost elbow and raise the boost 33 percent to 20 pounds, or 66 percent more boost to 25 pounds, will the airflow thru the filter increase proportionally with the percentages given? Is boost and airflow linear in my case, or not? If not linear, how much more airflow is required to produce the boost numbers listed?

I'm not making modifications to anything right now, this question came to mind recently and I thought I would post it here. TIA

Ronco
