Re: [FlyRotary] turbo wastegate requirements
  Just what I would want is the fuel to shut off on takeoff also I would worry about a lean fuel mixture causing detonation.

Hi, fellow canardians.  I am still sitting on that fence between turbo or not to turbo. (I have some splinters in my butt cheeks from that fence).   I was reading the installation and operation manual that came with my MicroTech electronic engine management system, and under "setting up" there is a section entitled BstCUT,  which says "This feature prevents turbo engines from overboosting by cutting all fuel supply when bost pressure exceeds the limit set in theBSTcut screen, i.e:  if you set this value to 10 psi, all fuel supply will be immediately shut off when boost is 11 psi or higher."  Does this sound like a useful tool in installing and setting up a turbo on my 13b?  Please don't flame me, as I know less about turbos than I know about understanding women.  Does this mean I would not need a wastegate?  Thanks in advance for your replies.  Paul Conner, Mobile, AL
