About 7 psi when it blew the hose off MAP was approaching 44. > Did you ever get a full throttle boost reading? No. I can't get full throttle on the ground, even with the wastegate open. That's why I've been blowing the hoses off in the climb. The only place I can test it. I haven't tried closing the wastegate for takeoff yet. And no - I'm not about to tie this sucker to a tree. In Oregon, maybe. In Florida, no way. :) >I thought I told you not to break my old turbo. I'm not breaking it. I'm blowing it. > How many rpm's do you think it's turning when you unload the output? Dunno. Lots. What? - do I need a turbo tach? > It's not a big pucker factor when it happens. I should have said - it's not a pucker factor when it happens the second time. :) John (climbing just fine to 800 feet)
