I suspect there may have been an IPA or two before he posted. Just roll with it man. Don't poke the bear.

Just bringing some more humor to the highly advanced and skilled method of testing the CAC tube with proper PPE and circus music...

In my previous profession, I would sometimes do something like that in a briefing just to see who was paying attention by the confused looks or smirks of amusement on their faces. Besides, it was funny to me (I laugh at my own jokes all the time) in an otherwise boring and mundane briefing. During my short stint of working in the civilian environment, my supervisor told me "when you are speaking to people in a conference setting, you don't need to speak as loud as you did". I told him "I like to say things once and so everyone can hear me". He laughed a bit and we moved on. He was a great boss and I was sorry to feel as if I let him down after leaving the position for only a year.

Don't mind my comments here, I am waiting for polyurethane to dry on 2 more dinning room chair seats and playing Red Dead Redemption 2 since the weather is crap today.

I kinda figured it was on purpose since you used 3 different types of terminology. I was just wanting to play along.

My son played that game quite a bit. He almost got in big trouble when I found him up late one night when he was supposed to be in bed. I guess the last level is very very long. He had no idea it was the the long level when he started it. Then was stuck between finishing or starting it all over again later since he couldn’t save mid level. I gave him a pass.

I just saw that. Time to start a spreadsheet with all these names and their issue dates.

I'm trying to get you in trouble in that other thread by the way. You're welcome!

EDIT: Attached spreadsheet of names YTD.

Turbo is clocked. I have now reached the point where I have to wait for Turbonator control parts to come back before I can proceed.

LOL!! Excellent recovery.

While this project is on hold pending parts, what measurements of the modified CAC tube do you guys want me to take?

A conversation with Brett (the engineer at DPS) yesterday had him expressing concern about the amount of heat the drive pressure sensor sees when it is mounted close to the turbine scroll. This is my solution:


Before: Unprotected drive pressure sensor, connecting tube and bracket.


After: Additional heat shield installed.


One more layer of thermal protection.


Drive pressure sensor sitting cozily inside.


Heat shield is fabricated from an old 1-7/8" hole saw.
