Re: Loss of turbo

No, that shouldn’t happen. Just to be sure, though, you didn’t reduce manifold pressure in the engines in favor of running the turbos at or near max? Seems like I read somewhere that if you don’t have adequate MP, then you can lose pressurization even though your turbos are operating.

Another point to consider in the future is that a turbo failure isn’t an engine failure, so you don’t have to shut down the engine.. It isn’t going to contribute as much at altitude, and you need to watch carb air temps to avoid carb ice. But when you descend, and especially on on approach, you will have the benefit of all four engines.
