Thanks for the tip Chuck. I was getting ready to order my turbo charger.

Could you share the specs of your turbo with us please?  ie, what type
(T04?), compressor trim, turbine trim, etc, etc.  Plus what are your
planned operating characteristics, ie, critical altitude, projected HP at
what RPM, etc again.  Thanks in advance.

Turbonetics is still working on the specs Marv.
My requirements were 150 HP at 35,000 feet. I am not sure we are
going to make that. It will indeed be a TO-4 or some combination
of same. I will report as soon as possible. The intercooler I intend
using right at the moment is shown on the KIS drawing on the ACRE NL
web site http://home.earthlink.net/~rotaryeng/ 
under the KIS sub division.

The HP at sea level will probably be whatever I set the automatic
pop off valve at. I intend for that to be controlled from
the cockpit. I also intend to use dual detonation sensors.
I am going to creep up on that very slowly indeed.

I have given much thought lately to the intake manifold and
I have decided to bond thin wall aluminum tubing together with
high temp epoxy. Sleaves where necessary at butt joints.
