Upon re-reading my own post, I'm not convinced the MP would change at all in
this situation. MP is simply a measurement of the air pressure in the
intake manifold. It *ought* to be, as far as I know, strictly a function of
engine RPM and throttle position. I wouldn't expect fuel flow to affect it
at all.


On a turbocharged engine egt affects the enthalpy delivered to the
turbocharger turbine and in turn the power deliverd to the compressor.
This will result in a slight change in boost pressure and therefore MP
for a given throttle setting.

Whether this will be a big enough change to be noticed under typical
operating conditions of an airplane engine I don't know.

regards,
Friedrich
