oups.com... [...] In the Mooney community is mostly agreed that a 201 (non turbo) will give you twice the cylinder life as a 231 (turbo). Other wear factors (heat, less air over the cylinders) are the same for turbo-norm vs. regular turbo. The only difference I can see is the "idiot" difference of accidently over boosting. Exactly what Mike said. Any kind of turbocharging will shorten the lifespan of a given engine. The whole point of a turbocharger, even turbo-normalizing, is to allow the engine to produce more power in certain situations than it otherwise would have. More power means more wear and tear. Turbo-normalizing isn't as hard on an engine as "non-normalized" turbocharging, but it still makes more power some of the time than the same engine without a turbocharger would (and on top of that, the increase in power is in situations when the air is less dense, making cooling more difficult...again, more heat, more wear). That time spent making more power results in more wear and tear. Pete |
