Turbo question
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
 The red line for my TIT is 1750ºF. 1350ºF is way cold on my 
 airplane. I don't think I could possibly put that much fuel 
 through it. 
 
 Just curious. Is the M20M the one  equipped with the 
 turbo-supercharged Lycoming that was retrofitted with external oil 
 lines to cool the exhaust valve guides a la the TIGO-541? 
 
Yes. 
 
 If this is indeed  the case, 1350 is only slightly cool on your 
 airplane, 1750 is way too darn hot. 
 
I don't run it anywhere near 1750º, but that is the red line for that 
installation. I cruise at 1600º TIT and climb around 1450º. I don't 
think I can get it down to 1350º. 
 
At 1600º, at typical altitudes, RPM and MP, I get just under 210 KTAS.
