Dyno Time!
Basically, I learned that everything's working well and that I can push more boost to the engine. I'll start with the boost set where we last ran (say, 19/20 PSI) and then work up and see what happens. The numbers are lower than they could have been as I forgot ice water for the intercooler - still, more HP than with the old turbo. As expected, the boost comes on at a higher RPM as there's a lot more turbo to accelerate - not an issue in LSR. Here's the graph:
The dyno guy expects I'll get a LOT more HP with more boost as it was running a bit rich in this configuration. My goal was to make sure that I didn't tow to Arkansas and find out that I had no boost or some such calamity. So ONWARD from here!
