> So what is the boost?
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. :)
