Hi! Tracy,

I have put an insulated box on the P1 Footwell and the Waste Gate Servo

together with the Regulator box are installed there. I have a 3/4" cold

air bleed off from the intake cooling air feeding into the insulated box

which is allowed to leek out against the footwell. I haven't ever seen

more than 35 deg C soon after parking so make a point of opening the

cowl top rad and oil filler hatches. In flight the temps are not giving

any concern.

This location is best suited to the least curve of the waste gate

control cable.

Regards

Bob Harrison G-PTAG Europa MK1 Trike re-engined with a 914 c/w

intercooler in place of a Jabiru 3300.

Indeed, you should.

The TCU control box comes in the crate, and is connected to the engine 

with an easy to disconnect connector.

The 914 turbo releases a lot of heat under the cowl, so you may want to 

install it as per the manual.

Some info on Contrails.
