turbonormalizer, turbonormalizer, turbonormalizer!

I was using it as an aviation term, peeps on the ground don't care too much about an engine going kaput! Unless of course it's in the ghetto somewhere?

No boost in a Lycoming IO-540 that's been modded for a turbo, maintaining sea-level performance at 20,000ft is a great use of turbonormalization... Works a little differently than a car turbo, but basically the same principal, my point in bringing it up was even though nobody makes one (or two) for the ES, it can be done... Just as STD'd turbos are installed in non-turbo a/c.

anything is possible.
