OK, I've thought about it for a full day. How can not sharing knowledge be a good thing?

Today is the first time I was able to go WOT since installing this TB. With only one log, it appears that I have gained about 3 psi boost. (!) All my old logs were around 160 kPa, today's was 180. This is with 94° IAT today, compared to 52° or so last April. Today it was about 83-85 °. Maybe when the ambient temperature gets into the forties, like it was in April, there will be an even bigger increase in boost because the air will be thicker. I don't know.
The reason for one short log is that I have tuning to do in that higher boost range, it went lean (13.0:1) and I didn't log anymore.

And then after it's tuned I'll be able to test vacuum between the blower and TB again.
