You do understand that he's talking about a turbocharged engine, right?
Generally speaking, full rich is the correct mixture setting for a
turbocharged piston engine, for full-power takeoffs regardless of altitude.



'Generally speaking', but not necessarily. Full-rich is the correct takeoff
setting for a FUEL-INJECTED engine regardless of altitude, but *not* for a
CARBURETED engine.

Most turbocharged engines are injected, but not all. In fact, the Turbo 182 has
one that isn't: a (carbureted) Lyc 0-540.
