Hi Everyone Was discussed before I've ruled out "Electric" turbo chargers. I'm going with a VW Type 4 2400cc engine and I've been on the bench as to turbo or not to turbo.
Ok, so I would get a bit More boast possibly on takeoff and when I fly high 7k+. though the negatives seem to out weigh the positives. More piping to be done (very very custom piping btw, little chance to buy an exhaust system ready built to bolt and fly). Hotter heads possibly? More chance for exhaust leaks More parts to fix when broken More weight for everything to support the turbo (including the turbo its self) More wear on the motor How effective is a turbo at 2400+RPM unless its small? So at the end is it worth it? does anyone have more positives to out weigh my perceived negatives (are these valid concerns?). I've heard the 2400cc will deliver 80-90hp what will be the avg increase for a turbo at such low RPM. I've already heard some of the negatives from others, but does anyone have a list of positives? Just want to paint a whole picture here to make a choice on. Thanks for any and all comments/opinions/facts.
