Re: TQC boosst level in bars

Hi Steve!

Most of the discussion has been on the 5k turbos, not the ur-Q.  The newer 
cars have a digital display of the boost available with the trip computer 
(I usually keep this display active when I drive the '88).  The computer 
on these cars actually has the ability to affect when the wastegate opens 
(unlike the '83 TQC).  I don't recall ever seeing the '88 5kCSQ indicate 
more than 1.3 bar on the display.  The '83 ur-Q has an analog gauge, which 
is a little harder to discern, but like you I would estimate that the gauge 
indicates closer to 2 bar than 1.3 at max boost.

My ur-Q is a stock, US spec vehicle as well so I can't say too much about 
what does or doesn't work.  Ned Ritchie claims as much of an improvement 
for the TQC has he does for the 5kCST though, so perhaps we can have even 
higher boost ... YAAAAHOOOOOOO!
