What dissipates 100HP between the flywheel and the wheels? I smell smoke!

Hi John
 Went and spoke to ATS down here in oz. Max showed me the  before and after. I must say you did a good job on the turbine or what was left anyway!!!. Don't know if he gave you the approx hp gain from the mod but he told me they get about 400 hp at the flywheel and 300 hp at the wheels in cars. Perhaps a bigger prop not to far away? From what he explained to me was that you will get more boost for a slower turbine rpm, therefore the wastegate will be more important than ever. Mind you he did say the series 5 wastgate should cope. I drop my turbo off tomorrow for rework . 
 He did mention something about throwing in a couple of peacock feathers just incase you blow it again. That way you can still fly home.      
 And yes he also said it would be shipped tomorrow.
 Now im thinking of changing prop size. ( currently ivo 70" variable high  pitch 3 blade ) can you make any suggestions. 
 Cheers
 Mick

>In any event, while I will still leave the capacitive probes in place
I have the same issue. Readings from my capacitance senders are all over the place and I'm installing the EM2, so I'm wondering if the RV senders will fit in a Cozy. Vans has no pictures on the web site. Does anyone have a picture of one of these babies? Will they work in a Cozy tank? Do they go in from the side or the top?
