Yep!  I'm sitting here monitoring some remodeling contractors converting our 
garage to the wife's desires.  But, tomorrow, I get to raise my hangar door 
frame!!  Then I can put on the sheets and start configuring the hydraulic 
system that opens the doorl

I'm afraid I agree with you Steve.  The stock Mazda turbo simply was not 
designed for the operating stresses we are able to put on it.  I believe if 
you use modest boost only for take off (short term) and not for cruise speed 
then it may last a decent amount of time, but that sort of defeats the idea 
of the turbo providing at least sea level NA type power for high altitude 
high speed cruise.

I have two turbos sitting on my work bench - I've toyed with the idea on and 
off for years, but just couldn't convince myself that I needed one since I 
tend to cruise at lower airspeeds to keep the fuel burn and $$ down.  If I 
needed some extra boost just for takeoff, I'd probably just go NO2.  But, if 
I were to do a turbo, it would not be with the stock Mazda turbo but would 
use something like the TO4.

Yes, I tend not to fly at all in the July August time frame - just too hot 
for me to enjoy.  Of coursed, I could get up before the break of dawn and 
find some cooler air.  But, I tend to do my tinkering during those months 
and fly starting September.

Paul and Lou are working out some oil cooling issues before jumping into 
their test program in earnest.
