Yes,
His
name is Paul Brannon. He monitor this list, so he may reply. He
keeps his plane at the same airport as I used to when I live in SC. As a
matter of fact, we were building at the same time, and only lived about 3-4
miles from each other.
He has
a very nice installation, though the plane has only flown once, due to other
issues. The engine seems to be very solid.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the input. Is your friend in SC,
by any chance. I recall a Lancair in the Greenville vicinity that made a
first flight earlier this year with a turbo 20B. I wanted to take a ride
out to see his installation, but can not remember his name or email
address.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
I
read and agree with the answers that you received from others on the
list. The twin turbos are not a good option.
I
friend of mine is running a 20B in a Lancair, and he went with a T04
turbo. Since you will have to fabricate an exhaust system anyways, I
think that the T04 is the way to go. Get a turbo with a high a/r
ratio. Nothing lower than .96. The 1.26 is even better.
The housing will be larger, and require a larger heat shield, but they are
much better suited to continuous operation.

Steve, Dave, or anyone else using the stock
turbo(s)
On my 20B installation I am considering using
the stock turbo system. I would only be using low boost
levels. I have a couple of questions for anyone who is using the
stock turbos. Were your systems twins turbos? Did you leave
both turbos in place? Is over speeding an issue for our mode of
operation? What else should I know about using the stock
turbos?
Thanks,
Joe
