Hey Dave,

I don't know what turbo you're running, I didn't mean to imply that _you, specifically_ were benefitting, that's why I said "surge or overspeed line" implying that generally, it could go either way depending on the size of the turbo.

Agreed on all the "estimations", it will be very interesting to do a baseline at elevation and sea-level, don't necessarily want to wager money on it  ;)  , but it would be a great data-point to add to the information database, as I hope that I've done with my documentation.

Thanks,
Javad
