The Installation Manual says>To do this, the EMS needs access to OAT, MAP, RPM, Altitude and fuel flow, engine horsepower setting, engine redline setting, and be used on a normally aspirated Lycoming or Continental engines. This information is based on Lycoming and Continental power charts and is updated in real time.

does this mean the Lean feature will not work on turbocharged engines? :mad:

It does mean that. You'd need some extra sensors to calculate power on a turbo engine, like IAT and pre-throttle pressure. I've never tried to even look up a table. There's even a chance different turbos would act differently.

I think that's the first time we've been asked about a turbo Lycoming or Continental! That must be one heck of a velocity you have.

Yes it seems I am often "that guy" who asks the odd ball questions... and the farther I dig into the Skyview the more I come up with...

THANKS AGAIN for your patience!!!
