Hi,

I have just joined the list.  In January, I will be picking up a BD-4
that I purchased without an engine.  My plan is to put a Mazda 13B in
it.  I would like some opinions on turbo-charging vs supercharging this
engine.  Advantages and dis-advantages of each.

I have two reasons for wanting to boost the engine.  1)  I fly out of
high altitude airports (5000 ft @ 90F is not uncommon), and 2) I would
like to cruise up to 18,000 ft. or higher.

Thanks,
Bob White
