Joachim,
A turbo charger is the answer and it would work. Ken Rand had a cabin
up at Big Bear Lake in California not too far from mine and he had a little
trouble getting off in his KR-1 in the early days. He solved the problem by
using the exahust gas to power a RayJay turbo charger and solved his
problem. When I asked him how it worked, he simply said, "Now my engine
thinks it's at sea level.
