Paul,
Yes, I did remove the flapper entirely, and that worked very well.
Perhaps even too well, as max MAP was somewhere in the high 40's at SL.
That was perfect when I was cooling limited, but after my cooling is
improved, that might not be enough boost for me at altitude.  I may have
to re-install the flapper.

The high 40's!!! 16 psi of boost.

Wow Dave, a lot of racers would love that!!
You must have around 300 HP.
What is your climb rate? There sure is a bunch of HP in that
turbo charger turbine.

You need a turbo tach on that thing.

I must be missing something, high 40's refers to inches of water doesn't it?

Inches of Hg Bill. Aircraft manifold pressure is always Hg mercury.
30 inches of Hg is roughly 15 psi.

I was way wrong on the 16 psi boost. Sorry. More like 16 inches
of Hg or 8 psi boost. Been up since 4.00 AM.
House building stuff 60 miles away in heavy LA traffic.
Thanks for catching that.

BTW One inch of water is about .44 psi.
