Thanks for your thoughts.
For frame of reference......
Mecanair claims 200 hp @ 6000 rpm to 16,000 ft. with Garrett turbocharger (can't
remember model), intercooled with automatic pressure compensation.

Will be looking forward to and listening attentively for your experiences with your
installation.......................... as well as that of others here.
Likewise with Tracey and his 20b adventure.  Tracey.........anyone know, is that a
naturally aspirated experiment or a turbocharged version?
If appropriate to the forum, would really like to hear of people's experience(s) with
turbocharged versions of Mazda installations in aircraft (stock and/or modified).
Appreciating your comments.

The Mecan air had the the stock 2nd gen  Mazda turbo on it when I saw it at OSH.
I am not sure if it was the 89 to 92 model or the 86 to 88 model.
Chuck Harbert has flown a three rotor turbo with a Garret TO4. He has had some 
bad luck with defective oil coolers that caused in-flight fires so has kind of 
backed off test flying for awhile in deference to his family. No real performance
data unfortunately.
