I dont work on aircraft so correct me if I'm wrong, doesnt aircraft go thru inspection between every flight? <span class="ev_code_RED">A general preflight inspection by the pilot and certainly not on your turbocharger in particular. An annual maintenance inspection is done once a year for private use, every 100 hours (about 20,000 miles) for commercial use. The preflight is for safety reasons, not maintenance. Doesn't apply to this issue.</span>

Do you pop the hood everytime you drive your H2 to work and once more on the way home? <span class="ev_code_RED">see above</span>

I think car manufacture offer both turbo and supercharger. <span class="ev_code_RED">Who offers supercharger options for standard street vehicles?</span>

Most race car use turbo due to race regulation and engine configuration, again I do remember saying turbo is build for racing.

Yes there are stock fluid lines running all over the vehicle but I dont think your engine or trans will get as hot as a turbo. <span class="ev_code_RED">The oil line on mine is aircraft rated</span>

Wastegate rarely fail, can you back that up with facts? <span class="ev_code_RED">MILLIONS of miles in the air. Never had one fail. Had one turbo fail in that time</span>

Yes Turbo can last a long time if you take care it <span class="ev_code_RED">Just exactly how do you take care of it?? There's absolutely nothing to do.</span>

If a belt snapped, replace with another, no biggie. If your turbine shaft breaks... hmmm $$$$ <span class="ev_code_RED">$800 or less - big bucks???? Every 180,000 miles or so?? oh, and can you continue driving your car with a broken belt? If a turbo fails you can.

And most of the aircraft I flew the turbo not only boosted the engine it also provided about 6 psi to pressurize the entire cabin</span> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I appreciate your good questions and response but my experience indicates you're incorrect on your opinion about turbochargers. Just a difference in opinion I guess.
