I wish I could tell you something about it other than it only

cost $400.  It

is about the same trim as Greg Richter's.

I wish I knew you had the manifold.  I really wanted to try it

on for fit

before I bought it but everyone needed me to pay for it before

they ordered

it.

Wow! That is cheap Dave. Is it used? Does it have an inconel wheel?
Is the bearing housing water cooled? Ceramic ball bearings?

It is brand new in the box, but I bought it from Bill Eslick (flying n.a.
13B RV-6A).  He had it made to match Greg Richter's successful turbo 13B-REW
in a cozy.  He then decided to stick with n.a. after Steve Brooks' reports.

It is not water cooled, probably not ball bearings, and doubtful on the
inconel.  Did I mention that I got it for $400?

I just couldn't resist the price.  My plan it to fit it up and try it out.
If it like it, and it ends up having a weakness, then I will know what I
need to change on the next one.  The important part is to have it fitted
around my engine mount and get an exhaust made.  TO4 turbo's can be had
fairly cheaply.  Once I have it all fitted, I can start pushing my stock
turbo a little harder knowing that I won't be down long if spits out its
turbine wheel.
