If it were me doing it, I'd mount the engine on a test stand with a good fuel tank/plumbing and take a video running the engine normally and show with a tach what the peak rpm is on whatever prop you're using. Then fit the turbocharger and run it up again on the same prop and fuel and show the peak rpm from the tach. This way you have a bit of an edge in credibility towards the guys that say it can't be done. I think it can, but not everyone does and many folks will say you did this or that wrong, so don't be surprised.
