Today was a first for me.  I flew the Cozy today after
doing quite a bit of work, replacing a fuel regulator
and working also on a noisy wheel bearing.

It was only a short flight, a half hour, but after
landing, I have absolutely nothing to repair or
adjust.
Usually my ratio has been about 3-4 hours of tinkering
for each 1/2 hour of flight.  Now all I have to do is
put in more fuel and fly it.  The engine ran good, but
still a little rich at lower RPM's.  No missing, no
sags, and definitely no oil leaking out.

It was pretty windy, and getting stronger, so I had to
cut the flight short.  It was also too bumpy to do any
tuning on the engine.  I tried once to make it a
little richer, and ended up way lean after a bump. 
The engine started to cut out, and it took a couple of
attempts before I got the mixture back to the correct
spot.  I decided that I do the tuning another day.

On the rich issue,I'm running the stock turbo
injectors, which are 550cc.  I'm wondering if running
the smaller, 460cc, injectors in the primaries would
fix that problem.

On the turbo front, I'm collecting parts to convert to
a T4 turbo.  So far, I've got a SS exhaust manifold,
and a Garret T04 turbo, which is .96 A/R on the
exhaust side.  I'm now working on getting a waste
gate, and exhaust flange.
