There are plenty of turbo "experts" out there but when talking to

vendors mention experimental aircraft and the wall goes up... <SNIP>

Now add to that you are not going to use a wastegate and they really

think you are stupid. You can't exactly begin a conversation about your 13B
powered airboat and then ask them how that data applies at a cruising
altitude of 10,000 ft can you?

Chrissi,

Remember the "I'm going to run in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb" dodge. Peaks
Peak goes up to 14,110 feet, so you could get someone to help you consider
altitude that way. The race is on June 28 next year. Tell you're getting
ready for 2003. At least it's better than the airboat excuse.

I haven't used the Pikes Peak rationale yet so tell us all if it works.

Good idea Barry. A boat for 8K lake Tahoe would be even better
as the power profile is the same as an aircraft.

Also I have a fix for the stock waste gate that tends to over
boost when the back pressure on the turbine is reduced.
Make a new steel back cover for the turbine housing and weld in
a separate pipe for the waste gate. The stock wall behind the 
stock waste gate has the same problem as a rad too close to the
firewall. In other words it restricts flow.

BTW Chrissi I plan on manually setting (with a bleed valve) the 
max boast on the stock 89-91 auto boost controller from the 
instrument panel.
