	For the 3B engine, this is a sure sign of something
	wrong -- but usually something minor (I forget what
	the most frequent offender is, but I'm sure other
	3B owners will tell you).  A healthy 3B will wind
	up to 1.7 without hesitation, at sea-level or
	elsewhere. I've seen 1.8 occasionally, but not
	that often.

	At any rate, you should take care of it, just in
	case it's *not* a minor problem ..

	Higher altitudes will give you more lag, but same maximum
	boost (within reason). Since you're at sea-level, it
	should not affect you.

	Tritec doesn't sound very familiar with the 3B
	engine, IMHO.

	Good luck -- it's a fantastic car!
