Gentlemen;  After I mentioned the electric water pump which set off the firestorm, I figured that I might as well throw this one out.  In the new JC Whitney catalog that came yesterday, there is an electric turbo charger for on demand boost, all for $349.00.  Rated at 803 cfm, that should ram in enough air for short field take offs, while getting away from the heat, by-pass and the continued cooling that is needed with the exhaust turbo.  Every day there are more options to experiment with.  I still have the two bushels of pistons with holes (auto related) in them to remind me that I'm not ready to try the turbo in the airplane.  JohnD
