Yea, it's going to be interesting to see how this behaves on the dyno under
load.  I may have to start higher in the rpm range to keep the turbo from
surging which will not show how streetable the car really is.  I easilly
have 10 psi of very controllable with the gas pedal  boost as early as 3000
rpms in 5th.  If I let it go beyond that, surge city till 4500 rpms.  But as
Hap has shown, just 10 psi makes more than enough power for your average
passing move.  I'm still getting used to tossing the 4kq tranny into 3rd at
65 mph to really blow by people.
