Marc Wiese -------------------- For me, it's a stock turbo, or nothing. The price of aftermarket turbos is exorbitant, and I really don't need the power. If I can do some normalizing for dirt cheap, I will, otherwise, I'll skip it. I still have a lot to learn about turbos, though I am familiar with the surge limit problem. My plan is to first see if the thing will even come close to fitting in my RV-3 cowling area. If so, then I'll start trying to find out if it's safe to use. I don't suppose anyone has a compression map for the series 5 (89-91) turbo? Eventually, I'm going to have to have one. Cheers, Rusty Turbo 13B powered RV-3...
