John,
 
I don't have that one on my list.  Can you provide some more info?
 
So, when will you be installing a turbo oil shutoff valve on your engine?  Sounds like cheap insurance to me.

Does anyone else find it amusing / ironic that blowing a turbo in flight, and ingesting enough debris to destroy a rotor doesn't necessarily constitute an "incident" because the engine kept running and the plane kept flying. :)
Actually, this one did "interrupt" the flight, or would have if I hadn't landed,  because I was loosing oil from the turbo housing. (I don't have Dave's oil shut off).
