One guy I know is claiming on a cool night he can hit 200.  
And he's running water injection..
Yes, I'm also curious about how accurate his guage is but even a 
10% error high still means lots of boost. 
His beleif is the more turbos the better.   At times I wonder where
the line from turbine to ICE is.
