Why Choose a Turbo-Normalizer
Instead of a Turbo-Booster?

The IO-360 engines used on the E, F and J models are certified as bare engines to 200 HP, on the C and G, carbureted models, to180 HP.  Boosting these can be done legally only to restore the horsepower lost from adding exhaust, accessories and cowling by Mooney.  This small target and the affect of the extra heat penalty is not generally thought to be worth the cost of the related higher maintenance and fuel.   Boosting, also, requires changing to low compression pistons to avoid detonation and this lessens the performance at lower altitudes.

With a turbo-normalizer the power is limited to that at sea level (30" MP):

  • The standard high compression pistons in your engine are retained.
  • With inter-cooling and after-cooling, extra heat stress on the engine can be eliminated.
  • Good low altitude performance is retained along with the high compression pistons.
  • Fuel flows are consistent from sea level to the 22,000 feet service limits.
