[FlyRotary] Re: boost
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
A turbo you may look into is an
Airdyne, it has its own oiling and doesn't require oil from the
engine.
I use these on snowmobiles as they
have no oil.
Another advantage of these is that in
the event of a turbo bearing or seal failure it would not drain your
crank case.
