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.
