5000tq maximum boost (stock engine)

[dhuddles@gandalf.ca (David Huddleson)]

I was always disappointed that others reported that they could get their
stock 5000 turbo's to register 1.4 bar of maximum boost. I normally was
able to reach 1.2 bar and once or twice see 1.3....

Well I think I found ideal conditions, and have seen a solid 1.4 bar reading
from the digital display (of course how accurate is it really!!!). Last 
Saturday was clear and cold, temp was -12F or -25C and there was no wind.
I was accelerating at full throttle in 4th gear at around 180KPM (about 110 MPH)
when 1.4 displayed on the computer.

(OK, so big deal right?) Well I'm at least satisfied that the reading can be
obtained, although it takes quite an effort on a stock vehicle!

Cheers,
David
