The reason is that cabin pressurization and other loads on the compressor/translate into too much load on the turbine blades causing them to stall. A correction for this was made on the E engine. I believe they said with this turbo we could operate as low as 2400 rpm. Charlie K. -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net/lists/lml/
