Actually, I just hit the low boost button on my Profec and don't worry about it.
I'm pretty particular about where and when I fill up, so it is only on long trips that I'd be un-juiced. For the occasional trip to an out-of-state track, I do carry a 2 gallon fuel jug of the stuff.

The 18g and the 20g are close. But both turbos are way over priced for what the flow. A TD06 20g is about 980 dollars. The 20g flows 44lbs/min. You can pick up an EVO III 16g for 450 Dollars and it will flow 42lbs/min and it spools about 500-700 rpm's quicker.

I see your logic for computing the VE from torque, but this plot shows the VE to be above 90% from 5k up. So which do you think represents the more correct value?

Why do you still use a VE of 75% under boost? The VE would be drastically raised with a turbo cramming in air.

You end up having to work backwards from the final numbers to get what the VE is with the turbo and that doesn't help us.
