Turbo performance vs non-turbo

I believe that's a Turbo Alley turbonormalizer, not a Turbo "supercharger".
If not, I suspect the STC might require some "beefing up" of certain parts.

According to the article, it's a RCM turbonormalization package which contains a
turbocharger. The turbocharger is made by Kelly Aerospace. They say they have
over 1600 hours on one Commander with it.

This unit keeps the manifold pressure at or below 28 PSI. I take it you were
describing systems that do not have this limitation.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

That sounds like being "sorta pregnant". A TN system has a TC, but the
popoff keeps it from running beyonf normal sea level pressure internally.

That's about typical for a TN system. Mine keeps MP at or below 31.5 inches.

A TN system will been a TC Lite :~)

Right. A turbonormalized engine never sees any more pressure than one
that is normally aspirated - it just sees it up to a high altitude.
Cooling (at high altitudes) may be an issue, but not cylinder pressure.

This is sort of OT, but the new Aviation Consumer this month has an
article on an SMA diesel installed in a C182. The SMA diesel uses 85"
MP on takeoff and pretty much stays there for the entire flight.

sort of OT?
