Thanks carusoam, You make some really good points. I thought it would be as easy as removing the turbo with a few adjustments, but thats definitely not the case. I've decided to keep it and find the oil problem. Thanks again!

Great article Tom ... Thanks

Thank you all for your post. I think thew easiest and less expensive option would be to put the turbo back in. I'm getting with my mechanic in the morning and let him read all of your thought. Thank you all and i'll let you know what the outcome when its finished. Lee

Answer The Turbo has a fixed waste gate so you cant turn it off or on. Answer I've thought about fixing the turbo again and changing out the oil line ... that probably the best solution ... but I've trashed 2 of them and would hate to trash #3 in case it was more than just the oil line. Answer Tom ... Thanks Answer Clarence ... any chance of getting a picture of that air induction pipe ... inside and out? Answer I line in North Carolina and very rarely fly above 8,000 ft ... these Turbo Bullets are better above 8K but are a little doggie on takeoff and climb to 8K

all cylinders are 75+

I have a 1978 M20J that had the Turbo Bullet STC installed in 1990. About 6 months ago we lost the turbo. I had it rebuilt and believe it on not ... it failed again. Long story, but the oil line to the turbo was the problem. I've decided to remove the turbo and restore it back to the original design. I've bought the original exhaust that came on the M20J but need help with what the original design looks like ... and what we need or don't need. Not everything was included!!! If anyone has done this, i would appreciate any help you can offer. We have questions about the air induction pipe. The one I have now has a venturi inside it and wasn't sure if that's normal or built specifically for the turbo. Also not sure if I need the air cooler or should it be removed. The motor has the high compression pistons. Any original design plans or pictures would help. Thank you, Lee
