just a niggling point, but that is boost - in a n/a machine floored in
second will get you serious vacuum, fraction of a bar.  1.0 bar just
isn't as much boost as it should get.  I was gonna say "wastegate stuck
open" until I realised this.  Whne I sold my old 5kt the wg was stuck
open.  Whatta dog!  Stuck shut is almost as bad... can't floor it at
all!
