150 dbs...WOW, I was concerned about my mid 90's, IIRC.  I knew the turbo helped but didn't realize that much.

 

Well, that is according to my I-Phone meter.  The folks around still think my plane is LOUD.

 

Yes, it is fun to turn Dino's into Decibels.  Now, maybe to actually try to fly reliable and safely.....

Ernest, 

Its been my experience that non-rotorheads don't appreciate 150 db exhaust note.
