    Mike, didn't realize that you were running an EGT probe.

    Have you ever instrumented and measured backpressure.
    Enough of that, it was giving me a headache.

    Not on any vehicle-installed engines. That kind of data collection would be rather useless on a street car as it's almost impossible to keep load steady for any reliable period of time. Not to mention correlating data with variables such as ambient temps, baro pressure, humidity, [length of] running time, ...

    When I worked at Garrett doing dyno durability testing (the turbos, not the engines!), we had individual port temp probes, collector temp & pressure probes, turbine inlet/outlet temp probes and pressure probes, etc. Additionally we'd measure inlet temp and pressure and calculate turbine inlet pressure/manifold pressures (typically ~2:1 iirc). In an environmentally-stable rooms where we could run engines under a steady load for hours at a time.

    Ahh, the good old days.

    I currently have an early version of Rod's Header. Many moons age I tested several "beta" flavors of headers from Harry Hruska - the design that eventually turned into the ATP header. Unfortunately i don't have any good pics from that era.

    Need to get some parts for the time machine.

    Hi guys.
    I posted earlier that it looked like i was going to have to move. Its happening this weekend.
    We are going from a mini farm to a ... condo! At least it has a 2 car garage. As you can imagine this has taken up most of my time in recent weeks.
    The good news is the MM front suspension is in the car and the wheels go back on tomorrow so it can be towed to our new place.
    I will put up some pics and update the thread after we get settled.
