I do not know him but please read all three parts to his story.  He put
a
turbo Subaru motor in an RV-4.  After lots of trial, he ended up with a
small compressor and a large exhaust A/R housing.  He burned a
piston on
his
first setup and spent lots of money.  It makes you think!

Ernesto,
Thanks for that info - makes one wonder about 'so called' consultants, in
this case a 'turbo consultant'.
I just thought if someone knew him he might be able to clarify the 13 b
needs, but apparently he's not so hot !
Thanks for the feed back.

George,

  I talked with him on a turbo installation on my 350 Chevy/67 Camaro back
in the late 70s. He's probably forgotten more about turbo installs than
I'll ever know. I think you've drawn the wrong conclusion. It's not that he
doesnt know - its that there is more to it than meets the eye. I wish you
guys who are pursuing the turbo path luck.
