On top we have the "active" or primary E-throttle map - that's the one in play whenever boost is <10.2psi MGP. The yellow circled cells at 50%AP and 4500RPM illustrate what happens when MGP goes > 10.2 psi MGP, and activates the bottom (shown inactive) E-throttle map - notice the cell is commanding 1/2 the throttle it was before - instant soft boost limit!

Setting up to test beam alignment. I'm using the unmodified H4 washer as-is here, housing is sitting level on a surface as it would be when installed in the FD, and projecting against opposite wall in my basement.

And here you can see my new alignment washer, that consists of the modified H4 washer and the other alignment washer glued on top after testing alignment & marking up prior to gluing.

The left is the unmodified H4 washer as-is; in the center is the H4 washer after grinding off the alignment key, and to the right is the other alignment washer I'm going to glue to the modified H4 washer to make it work!

More mock-up progress - here you can see how almost the entire cone top is open to flow air from the plenum, before I opened up part of the cone's side where the plenum mates over it.
