I will continue to work 60+ hours/week probably until March. I'm way behind schedule and have no way to make up for the lost time.

The only areas where there has been some progress concerns the design of the exhaust manifold and the software for the ucontroller.

I think I will not be using the waste-gate for pressure control. There is a way to relieve pressure through the engine, which would not only eliminate a BOV, but also cool the engine and keep the turbo spinning a bit longer. Of course this requires either a servo or a stepper motor to control the throttle...

In any case, the bike goes into storage on January 1st. I'll disassemble it as time allows.

Good luck, ninja_thresh_hold.
