Don't we have to convert the boost values to ata before we compare them make a statement about the factor between them? Otherwise the atmospheric pressure offset is not eliminated.
My point is that early Merlin were not designed to operate at 4.5lbs. boost max. I am aware of the conversion issues and I only tried to point out that Crumpps assumtion was wrong.
