....I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "turbo normalized" or "turbocharged ". I've heard the expression=2C I just don't know what it means.
Turbocharged is a generic term that means the intake pressure is boosted by a turbine driven by exhaust gases. However, in typical usage, it means that the boost is somewhat above ambient pressure. By contrast, a TurboNormalized engine is one in which the boost is limited to maintaining sea level equivalent pressure as the aircraft climbs into less dense air, up to the limits of that turbo's capability.
