Saying almost on implies to me that it's always > boosting to 0.4bar (or thereabouts) and that's not the case. I think what Laura was saying is that with an LPT the boost pressure isn't modulated. It tops out at ~.4 bar regardless. With a FPT the boost pressure is modulated; it tops out at a pressure which depends on a whole number of variables (air temp, air pressure, fuel type etc.). -- Grunff
