Temp related low boost

[SuffolkD@aol.com]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two cut offs?

One is what you describe IN REVERSE.............
I get 1.3/4 until the temp gets to halfway on the gauge, then 1.6/7 "chipped" 
2.5 PT.

The other cut off would be temp sensor being too high, most likely the ACF 
cuts out too at that point.

This sound right?

Ya know fuel will lower boost, al these test done on the same drive / tank of 
fuel?
