Are you running the snot out of that thing, or just taking it easy still? What sort of MAP are you getting at altitude? OK, just for you.... Lately I've been taking it fairly easy (relatively speaking :) doing other tests. It doesn't give me as much kick on take off as the stock unit, but on the plus side, it does seem to last longer :) I'm running around 44-46 MAP on take-off (just to get my big-assed prop turning) then backing off to around 40 for the climb. I'm getting a good 160kt TAS cruise at 36 MAP at 10k (and around 8gph). I HAVE run it at around 42 MAP at 11,000, but only for about 10 minutes. That got me a 235 kt TAS (190 Indicated) at 6100 rpm and there's plenty more boost available if I ever summon up the cahonees to use it. I'm keeping the waste gate fully open at all times, not that this holds the boost back much. So far no complaints from the turbo, no missing parts on landing, nothing spat at the apex seals etc. etc. I've already got the lid open for the new EFIS installation. I've been toying with the idea of using a Blue Mountain EFIS Lite ($2795) as the head for a KNS-80 as an interim basic IFR solution. I've only got about 50 hours on the plane now, and I'm trying to wait until 100 before I start rev-5. I'm catching you up despite the shitty weather. The turbo is still in the lead. I have a slightly used one you can have at a good price :) John (still on rev 1 :) ------=_NextPart_000_004F_01C57DD0.201C43C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
