I'm still waffling back and forth on either going NA, or trying to decide on which turbo to use. I've only been able to fly with it twice. Like you, I have a daughter in need of free construction labor too! :-) If the weather cooperates I'm going to go get some more hours on it this week. But the last time I flew the numbers were still just as good. I'm now getting IAS of 177-179kts as opposed to 155-157kts IAS before. So, I'm pretty happy with that. I want to go up too and see what my max ceiling is. I was running out of oomph at about 12,000 before. I'm hoping to get at least 15,000. The other issue is max RPM. I'm only getting a max of about 5700RPM. If I could get that to 6000 or 6100 that would add a little bit of speed and performance I think. But I'm not quite ready to cut the prop yet. There may yet be something I've overlooked.
