Dave,
I've been limiting boost to 5lbs.  So far, so good.  I think that you're on
the right track with the T04.   I hope mine turbo last while you're working
out the bugs on yours.

I'll see if I can beat Rusty's time to fly off the 40 hours.  So far, I may
be lagging behind, but hope to catch up soon.

Steve

That's great to hear Steve.  Do you have plans to limit the boost on you
turbo to avoid the problem that John and I experienced?

My advice is to get the hours flown off quickly so you can get it home and
work on it.  (i.e. Don't pull a Rusty :-)
