Batteries being left to sit on a car isn't good. If the car is going to sit, take them off and store them indoors or somewhere warmish.
Anyway
IT RUNS, IT RUNS, IT RUNS!!!!!!!1
It's like someone hit a hyperdrive button when it comes on boost and it holds its boost ALL the way as far up the rev range as I dare or till it blows a boost hose.
Its peaking at and then sitting at just shy of 20psi. At 70mph on the flat it is just off boost, any throttle above cruising at all and its on boost.
Sadly the boost doesn't come in anywhere near soon enough. In a 30-70 run its not really coming in well till past 45mph.
The plan when it cools down is do something with the boost hose that keeps coming off, wind the stop screw back alot and maybe wind the actuator a turn or 2 to bring it over 20psi.
