I wonder if that is anything like an engine load % calculation, instead of a TPS reading. I would think it uses manifold pressure, RPM, and throttle position or something to calculate engine load. Is there an optimal point on the reading before the turbo kicks on?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
