RE: Questions on 745 CORRECTION

Jerry:

In a previous post you asked:

>>2.  What's the boost in psi for the turbo?<<

I said:   >35.6 psi<

This is WRONG.  Fuel system pressure is 35.6 psi.  I can't
find a figure for boost pressure, but I expect it would be in 
the 8 to 10 psi range!   The Owners Manual does indicate a 
compression ratio of 8/1 compared to 10/1 for the normally 
aspirated engine. 

You Asked:  >>3.  Horsepower/torque figures?<<

I said: 
>252 bhp, 280 lbft of torque compared to 735s'  218/310<

The figures should read 252 bhp, 280 lbft of torque 
compared to 735s'  218/228.

OOPS!  Thanks to Gerry O'Connor for bringing this to 
my attention.
