Thanks Bobby.
We are just NA, but the idea of a turbo and 250hp is appealing and would make the Glasair hum along at altitude!

I monitored EGT’s during all phases of flight and would make mixture changes as needed to keep EGT around 1600 or less during high power operations. I used a vernier cable to control the super charger bypass and could dial in the desired MP. For the turbo I was planning a 4# waste gate with an air control valve to apply more pressure to the top of spring at higher altitudes or lower rpm. Still using the same target numbers as with the super charger. But no turbo for the S21 project. I guess I need to sell it at some point.
