Yea. I was thinking that might be a
problem.

Or, in this
case, a blower :)

roundup
OK. You're on. Target altitude - 25,000 ft.
:)
A climb contest (less than 10,000 ft) you will always
win. Lets try a speed contest
instead.
(of course you'll have to fly over to a hard surface
airport to find me)
>I like that
Idea too. You will have to seal the oil passages.
Duh!
:)
Anyway - good news. Tomorrow, I just spoke at
length with Max at http://www.turbonetics.com.au/
He can get a turbo locally for about
$150AU and rebuild it per the specs on his web site for around $600AU.
That's less than the turbo rebuilder guy up the street wanted to just do a
straight rebuild.
I told him to go ahead. I should have my new turbo in
2-3 weeks.
