# Throttle Distortion Tests
Tests have been taken with full exhaust heat on throttle valve being shut.
We took measurements at the following points as per sketch.
Each test was of 5 mins duration with engine running at 500 r.p.m. Measurements were taken whilst hot and when the throttle allowed to cool down measurements taken when cold.
