M20C with Turbo Normalizer

[triple8s]

I was looking at a C model that is for sale at Lasar and was wondering if anyone had flown a C model with a turbo. Would a turbo give more even fuel distribution? I know the non injected engines seem to have a broader range of EGT's cylinder to cylinder, also I wonder what kind of performance one could expect at cruising altitudes. I cant see it would be economically feasible but I am still curious.

The conventional wisdom is that the higher temps in the induction air resulting from the heat of compression from the turbocharger will vaporize fuel better resulting in more even fuel distribution.  That is the theoretical, practical experience backs it up.  

The standard caveats apply.  Every Venturi/jet combination is slightly different, and throws smaller or larger droplets of fuel.  The multi hole jets that used to be (and may still be) available from Precision alternately were much better (my experience) or worse (others experience) in this regard.  Additionally I personally didn't like the 1 piece venturies from Consolidated Fuels. They looked crudely formed  (in my sample of 3) and made my engine run crappy, unburnt fuel in the exhaust manifold, 1600 Df egts, low static RPM.

I guess that the drift is, that the potential is there for it to be better, but carb atomization can also make a difference.

Good Luck

l've spoken to M20C turbo owners and past owners.

They say good things about the mod
