If I were doing a turbo application I'd probably go the normalize setup and have a setup like a TSIO-360 in a mooney 231, a friend has one and it maintains S.L. performance at alltitude via turbo boost and you have nothing to monkey with, no controls just let it cool before shut down. An interc

Turbo vw engine engineers: I just read on krnet about a turbo'd vw motor lifting a head at 3600rpm, 36" manifold pressure. My vw motor has the revmaster turbo setup, draw through carb, etc. No wastegate. 20 minutes running time, not yet flown. I once asked a turbo guru once about adding a wast
