A whole lotta good stuff.

I really haven't been reading the newsletter much lately but luckily Cliff
has picked up the slack on issues such as these.  Last time this was
discussed, I was advocating using a large turbine housing with a fixed leak
to avoid the wastegate.  I still think this is a good idea although I can't
prove it.  At the time I made this excel model and uploaded it for the
group.  I will do so again.  Maybe Cliff can play with it and see if it
makes sense.  He wasn't on here last time I uploaded it and he knows alot
more about turbos than I do.  If anyone wants to play with it, just change
any values highlighted in green and use the solver function to converge on a
solution.  Big changes will not converge so make small steps to get to a new
operating point.  Just don't save any non-converging solutions so you can
always get it back.
