Keeeerecto!

Maybe it would help if we  thought of it as " Back Pressure "  ...... if the
volumn of  flow wuz really high, we  would have very  little Back Pressure
..... hey this really happens when the bearings all get wallowed out ....
lots of flow, and the BackPressure gauge reads relatively low.

Interesting trivia....  mmmm.

********
This sort of also applies to your Turbo Boost gauge ... it is really showing
BackPressure .... for any given turbo and rpm....  if you had somewhere for
that backpressure to go, ( such as more displacement, bigger and better
valves, better exhaust ....   )  your gauge would read lower and you might
think something was wrong.....
