Rusty,
I'd be interested to know how the weight & balance differs with & without turbo

Me too :-) 
 
I originally estimated that the plane would be 54 lbs lighter without the turbo.  That would have moved the CG aft about 2 inches, which would have been about perfect.  Unfortunately, the 6 lb prop extension, and extra exhaust weight have conspired to reduce the weight savings to an estimated 40 lbs.  This is still going to work out great for CG.  I can't wait to get this version flying.  It's going to be like a new plane.
 
Cheers,
Rusty
