I am installing a 12A in a Q-200.  I started this project, believe it or
not, in 1981, but for many reasons have not gotten back on it until now.
I would appreciate any information you have and would like to receive
the newsletter.  My engine was put together by a race driver/engine
builder named Jay (I think his last name was Evison) in Tucson, AZ with
a company named "RX for Your 7".  It is ported, with low compression
rotors, and race quality bearings/oil pump.  I am turbo charging and
using throttle body fuel injection.  The engine is indexed 90 degrees
with the oil pan on the side.

Welcome to the list Larry.
You are looking at close to 350 pounds firewall forward for the 12A turbo.
Can the Q-200 take that? That will also be about 150 pounds out of your
payload not counting the necessary balance weight in the tail. An O-200 weighs about 200
pounds firewall forward. Bare O-200 weights are down around 160 pounds.
 Are the wheels still out on the ends of the wings? I would at least fore go
the turbo and consider it a single place airplane.
