Correction Re: <VV> turbo non boost

[FrankCB at aol.com]

V V ers,
    I have to make a correction to my previous msg on  this topic.  If the 
engine, turbo, and exhaust system are fully warmed up,  you should start to see 
boost develop after 3 SECONDS, instead of the MINUTES  that I said.  It may 
take 4 to 5 SECONDS if everything isn't hot  enough.  This is why it's so 
difficult to develop any boost (in a stock  Corvair system) while driving in stop 
and go city traffic.
    Thanks to son Jim for bringing this to my  attention.  I should use him 
as my proofreader <GGGGGGG>

Also  with the loooooong exhaust piping between  exhaust manifolds and  
turbo it takes a few minutes under full load to build up  boost in  the 
Corvair.  
Get the engine fully warmed up (300+ deg. F on  the  CHT gauge) get to the 
bottom of a LONG hill and floor the  accelerator pedal and  hold it for at 
least 3 
minutes.  Four or  five minutes is even better.
