I've been trying to determine correct turbo size for my project. Man, it's tough to get answers. I've found two successful projects that size the turbo 1.3 times bigger than normal. This reportedly prevents destruction from overspeed of turbine in aircraft operation. Picked up book by Hugh Macinnes.....how disappointing. He mentions sizing for aircraft..but says "beats me". -al wick Artificial intelligence in cockpit, Cozy IV powered by stock Subaru 2.5 N9032U 200+ hours on engine/airframe from Portland, Oregon Prop construct, Subaru install, Risk assessment, Glass panel design info: http://www.maddyhome.com/canardpages/pages/alwick/index.html On Fri, 17 Feb 2006 17:08:06 -0500 "Ed Anderson" <eanderson@carolina.rr.com> writes: So, John did it again, eh?
