Default RE: P-160 Upgrade Program

Sorry for the delay.

As mentioned before, all users should test P-160 serial number #193 and OLDER for proper clearance between the turbine and the EGV (exhaust guide vanes)

1.) Procure a short length of .040" music wire.

2.) Put a 90 degree bend in one end, resulting in a little tail of about .250" in length (see picture 1)

3.) Slide the wire in between the back of the turbine wheel and the EGV. It should fit between them. (pictures 2 and 3 show how to do this. Note that picture 3 shows the nozzle removed for clarity, it is not necessary to remove the nozzle to make the measurement)

This measurements ensures minimal clearance.

If you cannot get the wire into the space call JetCat USA (818) 874 9303 before operating the turbine further.

Thanks very much and we appreciate your business.
