Well, the 150 KPA you're displaying is about 22psi (21.75 to be precise) and that would be right i assume? Although i've never heard of anyone using KPA for showing the boost pressure.. Always PSI or BAR, or is it different in Australia?

I knew we were running at about 1.5 bar but I couldn't do the conversion to make it work out to be that.
So where was it hitting 1bar Bas?

kpa is basically bar * 100.
So you're hitting 1 bar ~4200 rpm on the dyno.

Manifold gauge pressure is absolute pressure not boost pressure in that graph. 1 bar boost (=200 kPa absolute) is reached by ~4200 rpm.

As for representing the marque, here are few photos of Duke taking part of the Time Attack event in our track in Estonia: http://waska.lt/#/Motorsport/2013/Auto24Demo/
The red 951 was from Lithuania.

EDIT: Duke beat me to the kPa conversion

No, they are taken by a lithuanian guy who I think was from the red 951 team.

Reading the chart I got 1 bar at 4200rpm, looks like a few others beat me to it! The new turbo should be well under that. Hopefully closer to 3500rpm maybe a bit more. Great to see you getting the use out of the car Pat looks like an awesome way to use the car for fun interested to see the results you get with the new turbo.....

Had it on the track yesterday Nick. Still had a few minor issues that stopped us getting our best but the new turbo felt more linear compared to the last. I suspect it ramps up earlier and just flattened out the jump between 4k-4500rpm on the old one. Didn't get a chance to re dyno it but the engineer just played around with the tune as we went through the day. Paul only managed 3 laps of the shorter track we were on but in the hottest part of the day with the mix a bit rich and still only on 18psi he was able to break the Club record by a decent margin. You'll note some pretty serious machinery in the lineup. All amateurs of course and not totally reflective of those car's potential and while Paul is no less an amateur he would be the best driver with the most experience in the field. I had a few more laps yesterday and am slowly coming to grips with, well, everything.
