Adding turbos to a twin?

Adding turbos to a twin?

Postby Mike Much » Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:22 am

Eventually i will purchase a twin. In the market now but as you can imagine im looking at many. The turbo models are few, is it still feasable with parts available to convert a twin to a turbo twin? That obviously opens up more airframes if i can convert one.

Also, Just curious is there an stc for an automatic wastegate turbos? I have always thought it made more sense to use updated technology vs. the manual waste gates?

Thank you

There are a few 250's that have turbochargers installed. The chances of finding all the parts and paperwork to get an approvable installation are probably pretty slim. It would be easier to start shopping and buy one that has the turbo's already installed.
