I did a boost leak test today and had a large slit in a gromit for the IAT sensor. Was losing all boost pressurized (10psi) in about 10 seconds or so.. could this have hurt performance?

what are your E/Ts?

mph doesnt mean anything as long as the E/Ts are there.. but i do agree they should be higher..

with a race weight of 3200 in a NA 346 with H/C 4k stall i was taping 95mph..
