Using a 5V wideband O2 sensor and calibrator/meter, I was able to tune his
fuel injection system to run in the 11:1 air/fuel ratio range at 12psi of
boost pressure at 7,500rpm, with this turbocharger.  This turbocharger is a
Borg-Warner (KKK) unit built for a 10 litre Cummins turbo diesel engine
(yes, for an 18-wheeler big rig).  At that load, we're estimating the
braking horsepower around 420bhp or so and it wasn't even breaking a sweat.

Well, I suppose that's *one* way to prevent turbo overspeed at altitude.  OINK
OINK!
