Good evening Net
With all the hot gas passing lately, it reminded me to ask about turbocharging.
My KR started life with a turbo. It was removed before certification due to
failure which was my fault. My goal is to create more power. I would like 100
hp and feel that this is only a modest i
atch
the boost gauge.

Good evening Net
With all the hot gas passing lately, it reminded me to
Dan Diehl did some good articles on turbocharging the VW. I can't remember
exactly where I saw them. I think it was in some of the old KR newsletters
that are available online. Anyone remember exactly where the articles were?

What gains, useful load; cruise spd etc does turbo give you(also operating

That's my thoughts.

I believe there's an OXYGEN requirement above a certain altitude.

I plan to use the turbo to gain a small amount of sea level power(25%) and
to normalize at altitude. I don't have any plans to fly over 10,500, and
should not need oxy.

Joe the KR-2 as designed with a 2180 cc engine is susposed to do the whole
thing. The problem is that very very few KR-2 ever make their first flight
at the design empty weight of 450 pounds. Most are over 25% heaver and
