>what I had was a "Pop off valve", or "relief valve". 
Right - pop off valve. I knew that. Blow off is just more fun to say :)
 
>it adds a certain amount of boost, which falls as you climb
Yes. what's the spring set at?
 
>Unless you can modify the turbo to be controllable, it's not safe.
You forget - I've already tested a blown turbo scenario. The plane climbs fine. I'm considering the pop off for detonation protection.
 
We don't want the Subaru guys posting your off-airport landing :-)
Whatcha mean we, white man?  :)
Technically Keith's wasn't an off-airport landing, it was an off-runway landing, although he did include part of the runway in his 290 ft. :)
