We ran it this morning and everything is working great.
You can hear the pop off valve working. You can see a vapor cloud above it
and hear a ripping sound. The pop off valve is the black spot on the output
of the compressor. The vapor is from the water injection up stream.
The boost was 17 psi or about 65 inches of Hg. I have a stiffer spring
if we
need more. This is a manual waste gate which makes a lot of sense for an
aircraft.
No need for rapid throttle response.
Dan (our UAL 787 pilot) loved it so the next step is flying it here at SZP.
