Hi Paul, over the last couple of months I noticed that people with
turbochargers like the one you are going to use are having problems with
over boosting. John Slade is flying with the waste gate fully open and air
bleed at the intercooler. Still he can not apply full power for being afraid
of detonation. Looks like someone has to specialize in cutting down the
blades on the hot side of the turbo? Bleeding more air on the cold side will
only over speed the wheels. I just had mine rebuilt, but looks like have to
do something about this problem.

What year turbo does he have? There is a big difference in the waste gates 
from 89 to 90. The 91 is+ on the left. If you have an 88 you can port the waste gate
and or run a separate exhaust pipe for the waste gate instead of making the gas
turn right angles. Also what size exhaust pipe after the turbo is he running?
