Zero Turbo Boost Follow Up
>WOW Steve. Do I understand that a 1/4" opening was the sole cause of
virtually all loss of power?


I was able to drive at 50MPH on a flat road. I was unable to accelerate
faster though. I was able to stop and start and build up momentum, until I
reached
50+/- MPH again. I'm glad I didn't have to go up a mountain though.

The hose appears to go to the dash gauge. I guess the 0.25" hole was enough
to prevent the pressure from building up and forcing air in the cylinders. I'm
thinking I hardly ever got above 15psi of boost, so I guess it is conceivable
that the . 25" hole could leak that much pressure. I'll watch the #'s more
closely on the way home to see what my boost pressure is.

What do the experts say......
