I don't know if this is what heppened to you? Failed fuel pressure?

The throttle currently controls boost levels over about 0-40% ov its range which is obviously a bug. I can get boost pressures between -4 and +6 but its hard to get exactly what I want and have to settle for about +/- 1lb.

Here are the boost figures from SpitIIa pilots notes for the Merlin XII and the Hurricane Merlin III (Spitfire will be the same). You'll find these splattered all over the forums.
but that's a report with 100 Octane there not using that in this version. 97oct is what I was told there using.
