Blimey Jeff :-) Did you have the waste gate clamped down or what? Turbos are normally used to maintain say sea level MP at altitude but 45" on the ground!! Can't believe the VW hung in there without at least overheating.
Take care with that kind of power.

I bought a Revmaster turbo kit from them and adapted it to my Sonerai. With the same prop and engine I saw 2900rpm static in the past. With the turbo I am getting 3500rpm static on a 52x56 Cloudcars prop. Here are a couple of videos detailing the install. First runs without prop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXIix10Rzmw Walk around video of the install: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4NKNy3z4Jg Test run at 45" MAP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bfpNlt3TLE Anyway, we will have the KR back in the air in the next week or so. Looking forward to getting go fly it again. Jeff Lange _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
