The Air Restoration Company (http://www.arc-duxford.co.uk/)sited at Duxford airfield restored the plane.
my ask is: maybe some of them for sure well know about engine limitations, they took it in flight after 70 years (I dont know who is the pilot)
Some of this community with a better knowledge of english than me can contact those guys and ask for more infos!
cheers
Restored aircraft operating today will almost never use maximum boost as it would risk a rare and expensive asset unnecessarily. Many don't even have an operational turbo/super charger for ease of maintenance. I think 20,000 feet would be considered high when operating warbirds these days.

Shame as the data would have been incredibly useful.
