Hi Paul,

I think that I should install a knock sensor on my 13b since it is turbocharged. --

I am a bit worried about turbine RPM at altitude so I am thinking about
a turbo tach.

That is more or less the approach I am taking Rino. I will sneak up on the
HP and the boost level to explore the limits. I hope Greg Richter will send us
some data soon on his turbo set up :-) Right now he is out there on the
cutting edge but it looks like he is well equipped to deal with it :-)

Thanks for the info Paul,

I will keep my eyes and ears open for new findings in that area until I am ready to fly.
At this time I am planning to stay well below 10 000 ft. in order to not overspeed this
turbo.

Your lucky. 10,000 feet is MEA around here :-)
