In October the 7.5 elements will be available. Wait for them!

Just put your boost to 15 psi and check it. I am more interested in getting better drive ability (mileage, emission, better efficiency,...) than pushing to the limits for racing, so I limit boost to max. 1 bar and max. rpm to 5000/min but just for governor setting. I can not remember when I ever rev'd beyond 4500/min. Nice running engine without idle issues and smoke are my goals instead of just one super race then loosing the engine...
I have an IP of a 602 turbo waiting for the elements but it will be installed in a boat of my friend and I have only my 603a and 617a, otherwise I would send you a modified IP for testing.
Try to get a VTG. This will be a good up-grade for stock IP and later do the IP.

Tom
