While the turbo takes care of airport altitude changes,
the ambient temp is still a factor. The difference in required fuel flow
between 50 deg F and 150 deg F manifold air temperature is 10%. Sooo,
if the required take-off fuel flow at 50 deg F is 45 gph, then the
required fuel flow at 150 deg F is 41.5 gph.
Pushing the "rich" take-off fuel too far will cause a problem on hot days.
Adding the high boost will further the bad cause. This is just
information, I have no opinions what so ever on the
accident.

Colyn, 48-49 gph without high boost. I will
check the answer to your second question
when I return but my recollection
is about 1-2 gph-- not much. Jeff

Jeff said,
Trial and error but I found it to be around 48-49 gph
Jeff, did
you mean 48-49 is about the place where the engine begins to
complain or is
the place where if you add high boost then it complains. ?
Do you know how much high boost adds to fuel flow when wide
open? e.g. I
have mine setup for 45gph without
boost.
