I managed to convince the wife to ride with me in a thunderstorm and take notes. I'm not sure what factors are involved to make an accurate determination, but it was a cooler day and raining constantly, so speed was at 65mph max. Some uphill, a little downhill and normal traffic for a nation under quarantine. I included what gear I was in, just in case it mattered, but it doesn't look like it did. As you may very well be aware, a manual transmission makes the turbos have to rebuild all the boost once you're shifting. I'll keep doing this with different driving conditions and weather temps to see if there's a difference. I figured some data is better than no data. I didn't know how you want it sorted, so I can either send you the excel sheet or sort it the way you prefer. I couldn't go over 20 PSI because that would exceed 1200* on the pyrometer.
