Turbo vs Normal?

[Paul Sharp]

I believe where and how you fly become the largest questions to answer. All 337's have "automatic wastegate" control so far as I know - it's in the design. There are after-market turbos that some aircraft have on them (such as a Twin Comanche I owned) that utilize a manually-adjusted wastegate, but I've never heard of a Skymaster that didn't use the standard automatic wastegate setup that comes on the TSIO 360.

In Florida you might not have much reason or justification for a turbo. I live the intermountain west, fly there, during winter, in IFR, at night, and often have my family with me. I wouldn't want anything else but a turbo.
