Dwayne,
I have over 250 hrs on my current turbo, and I think I have identified the problem as running EGT at peak all the time. Now I keep the EGT under 910C (about 1620F I think) and I have a reasonable number of hours and counting.
That being said, if you want to run 250+ h.p. for anything more than just take off, you would do best to put in a 3-rotor. There are not many unique parts and most of those will likely outlast any aircraft use.
I never burn ANY measurable oil other than the 2-stroke oil I add to the gas. I dont have an oil hatch on my cowl, and dont check oil level on pre-flight. (but I do have an eletric oil level sensor in case it leaks out or something crazy)
BTW, I would not trust anything that D. Atkins says. He cost me more time and money in my project than I care to mention. IMHO, he will tell you anything to make a sale.
