A 'reality check' from a guy who has become famous for such manipulations sounds a bit incredible to me.

The DB 601A data charted above comes from the DB 601 A u. B Moteren-Handbuch of May 1942, which includes a 1 minute take-off rating. The Betriebs und Wartungsvorschrift zum Mercedes Benz Flugmotor, DB 601 A u. B., Ausgabe C, October 1940 also notes a 1 minute take-off rating. 23c The highest permissible values in climb and level flight were 1.3 ata and 2400 RPM. 23d A clockwork mechanisim limited take off boost to 1 minute only.23e The take-off rating was not mentioned in the Me 109 E Flugzeughandbuch; the maximum engine limits are stated as 1.3 ata, 2400 rpm.

Just for fun let's just see what passes for "opinion" on the Kurfurst 109 Forum

And there's nooo problem quoting from lane's websites when it apparently puts the Spitfire in a bad light http://kurfurst.freeforums.org/mk-xi...ints-t114.html In general Good for laughs but go elsewhere for objectivity.
