It was somewhat better "upstairs" (where a turbo really shines) than Turbo Dakota has a Continental TSIO360 engine, a 6-cyl model. It really should have been called a Turbo Archer... Wouldn't it be nice if Teledyne Continental and Lycoming didn't both have "xxx-360" engines? Here all this time I thought it was the Lycoming version... Thanks for the clarification. IIRC, those designations came from the military. Continential used to name them based on horsepower (C-90, etc) but after the army started using their engines in WWII, they standardized on the current nomenclature and Continental went along (O-300 was originally going to be C-145, etc).
