I have given you nothing but proof and logic to determine what happens with boost relative to fuel. Until you can get your car operational, I cannot physically show you what I am talking about. I just ask for some qualitative answers to prove what you say is all eh?

Additional boost for any given fueling always reduces efficiency even if you are within the turbos efficiency range (they are never 100% efficient). The mechanically controlled engines come close to that with the aneroid functioning properly, but still fall short.

The mechanically controlled engines come close to that with the aneroid functioning properly, but still fall short. Oh sorry, I read this wrong. It sounds as though you said the mechanical engines come close to 100%, my bad.So say you have a manual boost controller in place to make sure your waste gate wont pop open until say 20psi. If you adjust the fuel so that 12-15psi WOT with load is all that is obtained. Then you up the fuel so that now you can produce 18-20psi with WOT on load.Which situation would you have more power at?
And Eddy, we're only talking in psi because engines are positive displacement pumps. My engine will flow 1.9L of air for every two revolutions at whatever pressure is in the manifold. Volume is constant at a given speed for any manifold pressure. What we should be talking about is mass. m=pV/RT. Volume is a constant, R is a constant, and temperature falls into a fairly consistent range for our purposes (although it would be more consistent if I had an intercooler), so the only real variable is pressure, which is what we're discussing.
