Is that air-filter going to be able to handle the vacuum that turbo
unit is going to generate?
I think our IO540 has a bigger air-filter, and it isn't
turbo-charged. And it has a lot of metal to keep it from collapsing.
Also, you have what looks to me like a 2" or so exhaust from a
turbo-charger not connected to anything.
You had said something about a compound... are those to feed your
"compound" driver?
Best I can do just looking at a picture or three.
I wish I were looking at this thing from 3' away....

That is the largest air filter available. No doubt there will be
some pressure drop.
That 2 inch pipe has a disk in it with a one inch hole in the
exhaust manifold to dump excess pressure.
Nothing compound about this engine. Just a LOT of HP.

Will you be using your multi spark ignition? I will be wanting one
for my single rotor in the future. Andrew Campbell.
Thats on back burner until we get a confirmation on the patent.
Hopefully in April but there is no guarantee. It is the Government
after all.
We have an MW Aussie ignition on the TTC engine.

If I remember US Patent Law correctly (yeah, like I'm a Lawyer),
once you have your filings done, you have established a
"priority" date and I believe at that point you may start
marketing your invention.
If you start marketing (and have sales) BEFORE you file, you have
invalidated your invention for the purposes of getting it
patented (in the US, anyhow).
Now, there are some interesting twists to that. If you make it
available to someone else for testing purposes (to help you in
perfecting your invention), then that does not count against you.
This is what IP Attorneys are good for. But, they are expensive
(from my experience).

If they don't grant the patent I may not spend the money
to manufacture and sell it. We filed a long time ago.
