At full
throttle I can spike as high as 9psi, but it will maintain
7psi. Maybe tomorrow when above 10K I may
try my actuator bleed valve to increase the boost a little.
Sounds like your porting job
is working pretty well. I imagine ending up with a bleed valve sort
of control when it's all finalized (whenever that might
be).
My main concern with using
an aftermarket turbo is the oil return. The stock TG uses gravity, but I'd
expect an aftermarket installation to be mounted a little low for this,
requiring a scavenge pump...... yet more weight &
complexity
Since you have to make your own manifold, you can position
the turbo anywhere you want. I can even turn the new one around to
have the exhaust pointing toward the rear if I want to. I would actually
love to shoot the exhaust out the rear cheek cowl opening, but I'm worried that
I'll get exhaust in the cockpit. Also, if I thought the side of the plane
was hot the other day... :-)
Keep those test reports
coming.
