![]() "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... That is my point. There does not appear to be any reason for anyone to ever buy a turbo norm system. The engine runs just as hot/hard, etc at altitude with a turbo norm vs. a regular turbo. The turbo norm companies try to trick people into thinking that putting a turbo norm on your engine will not wear your engine any more than normal asp because you never get over 30". However, the argument appears to be worthless, in truth a turbo norm wears out your engine just as fast as a regular turbo. -Robert Not true, if the engine is cooled with adequite airflow. If you have an instalation that is marginal at cooling a non turbo instalation at altitude, and you put a turbo norm engine in it, yes, it will overheat and wear out. Put enough air across it, and it will stay cool at 65%. There are all kinds of flying examples to support this. What is the difference at flying a well cooled turbo norm engine at 12,000ft at 65%, and at flying it at sea level and 65%, if you keep it cool ? -- Jim in NC |
