 I am going to experiment some more (at altitude), but there is a definite connection (at least in the 80-90 mph range on my bird) between what appears to be a  sudden change from a non-factor to an "air brake" factor. {:>).  Until I decide otherwise, I will keep my rpm above 2800 on final. 
Yea. Me too! Hot & fast. That's me. :)
 
Glad to see you back in the air, John.  I am interested, when you get to that point, about your performance with the modified turbo. 
See my other post about power issues. Thinking about it and rereading my own logs I HAVE had good power since the turbo change. The other week I clocked 252 mph on the GPS ground speed at 5000', 5600rpm and 46 MAP. There was a wind, but still.....
