Hi Jeff, a guy named Alvin (Al) Campbell had a sweet little standard KR with a 2180 VW and a turbocharger back in the late 80's. He was an automotive engineer and probably published his data in the print newsletter ih the 80's. Search those if there's a way. Or else talk to Dan Diehl, he was Al's sidekick. We lost Al in the early nineties. About all I can remember him saying was that on takeoff, he had to stay off the throttle so he wouldn't overboost. Part of Al's job was monitoring engines on test stands, so it was natural for him to do. Obviously, he always flew the engine controls, but was always willing to give a ride to all takers in the right seat. He was a huge advocate for the KR. On a historical note, there was a culture of VW drag racers in SoCal in the past, and they along with the dune buggy crowd learned how far you could reliably push those engines. IIRC, Revmaster learned from their endeavors, and they should know. Have fun!
