I think we get around 6mpg on the track. Average speed is very close to 100, and usually this is Road Atlanta, with lots of elevation.

BTW....what's this "FB" you young whipper snappers keep talking about?

FP was for fuel pump frappe video. Chris White says the 044 sounds like a blender on Frappe and that is just about perfect. I made a video so you could hear the sound but I don't know how to post here. There are some pretty cool things on the 944 turbo FB Face Book page from time to time. Especially learning about meet and greets.

I honestly had to bail on that group. SIgnal to noise ratio was way too low. Way too many people on there who don't seem to want to figure out something for themselves, but would rather just post up something and let everyone else do the research for them. I think Jim probably has my back on this one.......

Agreed, but if any new comer was bashed for asking about supremely basic things then the FB page would probably end up with only a few people who already "know" each other from here or elsewhere who would keep rehashing the same topics, as is already more or less the case on here.

Harry, as usual you are totally correct, but like I said, there are some cool things from time to time and some nice looking cars.

By the way, the FB thing is common across all of the auto lists. Folks used to search for answers or try to figure it out. There is a great FAQ on turboford.org that was like Clark's garage. Id just rather spend time with those who will put in some effort thanthose want to be spoon fed. I don't spend too much time on FB, I've stopped feeds from most of my friends. Too much clutter in general.

Actually I love FB, when you travel as much as I do it is easy to keep track of everybody and what is going on around the world. I am one of those clutter guys!

@Harry, you're completely right.. The Turbo group at FB only brings people who ask questions.. How about a invite only group?

To get the thread back on topic here is a couple charts from tonight showing intercooler temps with my sprayers (sprayers come on at 8 psi). This setup works pretty darn good. Abmient temp was 63F. Adding a fuel pressure sensor to my Arduino logger also.

Almost a flat line, very nice! What was the ambient temp?

If it wasn't you, I would have a hard time believing this chart! Amazingly effective! Great job as always.

That intercooler is seriously capable.
