I had the same experiences' as Ed back in the 60's trying to may a blower work. --------------- ===> Thanks John, but I'm afraid the RV-3 IS the test bed. I do plan to log at least a couple hours of ground running before flight, and I should be able to sort out the turbo control on the ground. If nothing else, the pop off valve will give me an absolute safety valve, something I imagine that you and Ed didn't have back in the 60's. I'm still thinking of the best way to control the boost, but it will probably fly with manual control for a while. Rusty
