Hi Group
What I find interesting on the 914 is with the throttle about 1/2" or less, the
airbox pressure is greater than 44"! When setting up 914 with TCU software, I
found that 1/2" or less the wastegate is closed. Then remains opened from about
1" to 3" (this is with the engine not running:

See page 7-10 for airbox pressure graph.
Boy, if the airbox is going to blow off, who would have thunk that it just may
have a better chance of doing so near idle with over 44" and probably more
vibration
than at war emergency power (115% power, 100% throttle) which only has
a tad bit more than 40" or at 100% continuous power that has only a tad bit more
than 36".
See page 5-4 for MP from 55% to 115% power.
