Hello Ira
I do understand that the 914 has a good track record, at least for the most
part. It is simply not the engine for me. I do not have reports on the
accidents that I referenced, but they did involve two of my good friends.
One was a Lockwood Air Cam in Alaska, and the other was a Just Highlander in
South Carolina. Please note that it is not my intent to talk down the 914 to
anyone here. I simply don't care for the stock engine, and again, I feel
that it is WAY over priced for what it is. I currently have a 914 engine
without the turbo setup, so I don't plan on purchasing another engine. I
like the 912 series engines quite a bit, and have had great success with
them. I would simply like to find the components to put an aftermarket
turbo charger on engine and save myself a large amount of money, and not
have to "re-invent the wheel". If anyone it taking offence to my not wanting
a stock 914 engine, I am sorry for that, as it is not my intent to offend
anyone. I have simply asked for any information on after market turbos and
associated parts for a Rotax 912 engine.
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
No offense taken!
Fortunately, we can do pretty much what we want, which is why we
have that big EXPERIMENTAL on our AC!
I just don't want to see anyone hurt.

I think you are missing the reasons for the tcu and the difference in price.
TCU is needed to allow the engine to operate without risk of over boost at low altitudes but still develop a full 100 hp at 15,000 ft. A wast gate does not work well enough.
Secondly the price is high but the exhaust , engine mount and air box are standard fit, so add that cost in to the equation.
Power cost money.......just ask Obama LOL
