If we saw > smoke, ANY smoke wouldn't we do an emergency let down and land quick PDQ? > Not being critical here, just thinking...Tim When my turbo blew I didn't see any smoke (no level 360s). The only people who saw smoke were on the ground. They called me on the cell phone, but I wasn't taking calls at the time. :) I just headed for the field and kept a close eye on the oil pressure. If I were going to install a solenoid to kill turbo oil, I think I'd want a tach on the turbine too. Turbine stops = shut off the oil. Better yet, Buly, get a turbo that won't blow.
