Re: Turbo Lance MP flux ?



Did it fluctuate or just rise an inch or two and then stay? The wastegate
is manual so it isn't moving unless you are moving the throttle. You
should be adding throttle until you get about 2-3"MP below where you want to
be for takeoff. As the exhaust path heats up and the "bootstrapping"
subsides the MP will stabilize
