Having said all that Tom Parkes is getting away with NO intercooler

on his turbo three rotor in his Lancair ES. Go figure :)

Paul, I'm sure Tom is super low boost right now. His application is like
turbo normalizing. Bill Jepson

Bill is right.  My manual Turbonetics waste gate has a 5 psi spring, and my

Garrett pop-off valve is set to 32" MAP, creating a turbo normalized system.
My objective was to attain sea-level take-off power at Prescott's 5000 foot
elevation (density altitude reaches 8500 feet during hot summer afternoons).
It's a bonus that it carries that 32" MAP all the way to 17,000'.
