Dave,
    Speaking of your TO4 can you give us the numbers on yours ? Is
it a TO4 B or E , compressor trim , turbine housing A/R ratio , etc , or
any other special features such as inconel turbine , watercooled or
dry housing ? Inquiring minds want to know !
 
Thanks,

OK, now that's just not fair.  We "turbo" guys still are not catching you as it is...  I guess it's time to consider the C-drive as well.  Rusty, how did your engine mount end up?  Did you put in the shims, or is your mount askew in the wrong directing?  Ed, same question.
 
Now that you are turning in the 'right' direction, you had the option of a metal prop.  Did any of you strongly consider that option?
 
I'm still waiting on parts to install the TO4.  I'm starting to think that a TO4 with the C-drive might make some serious power (spray bars here I come).  I am thinking that a shorter prop may not produce as much p-factor and allow me to accept my left engine offset. 
 
Thoughts?
