Ken,

What do you get for fuel flow and power indications at low altitude, say 3000'?

Your fuel flow at start from the rear boost pump is quite wrong, and while I agree with the rest of the thread about looking for leaks, checking wastegate, etc., I would also pay attention to this low fuel flow at start up issue. You can have more than one problem, and you may at least have a leak or other problem relating to your boost pump. If the mechanical pump fails, you need that boost pump, so I'd chase that problem before flying much more. Also, since you can easily duplicate it on the ground, you should be able to fix it easily.

See also my thread on starting that I will post next.

Kevin
