I took a 152 sparrowhawk and a Cherokee 160 To 13000
out of Windover Nev. We flew to Jackson Hole and about
5 or 6 other airports at high altitudes ( one was
9350') before we went back to Salt Lake. Lean and fly,
People do it all the time. I have flown a KR-2 with a
turbo in Dennis Pointers KR before he totaled it and
you had to be careful not to over boost. There is
nothing wrong with a turbo if you make damn sure you
don't ever over boost. It will get you High.
Especially a VW engine.
