Yes.  In the older kits the intercoolers were set back a few inches so that the cowling would fit.  The problem with the turbos was solved with the Dolly Parton modification to the lower cowling.  For the upper cowling the only solution (suggested by Lancair) is to put some bulges in the appropriate places.  Not the prettiest solution, but it does work.  If you would like, I can send some photos.

Hello all,

Two questions:

1. Has anyone ever heard of an older cowling from Lancair that won't fit the
Continental TSIO 550?  I've had the top cowl since kit purchase in 1996 and
the bottom cowl for about 8 years (it's graphite bought from Bill Maddox).

2.  Anyone still have a IVP recip cowl they could part with?  I seem to
recall one mentioned a few weeks ago on the LML.

I just was told today by the guy who's helping me build that the cowl won't
fit with the turbos etc.  Is it possible there are two different cowl shapes
for turbo'd and non?
