As much as you have time to write, Lynn. There are a bunch of us running, or
planning to run turbos, and the more we can learn about how to operate them
the better.

For example. On my Cozy IV I have a '93 13B REW with high compression rotors
and an intercooled hi-flo (T04-V2) turbo. I blew the turbine wheels off two
stock single stage turbos by overspeeding them trying to find (and finding)
the limits.

What boost, oil temp, water temp limits would you recommend at sea level and
10,000 ft? Note: the RWS EC2 fires leading & trailing together and gradually
retards timing with boost.

Normal fuel is 93 octane, but I'm probably going to be forced to fuel it
with 87 octane mogas and/or 100LL on occasion. What boost limits would you
set under these circumstances?

Any other thoughts or comments on this setup?
Regards,
John Slade (currently single rotor turbo 6.5B)
