Maybe you know where it is, but you don't know how it looks like. Look at picture nb3, that's the supercharger. If I took a picture of it, I know where it is:rolleyes:

What I meant, is : where are the doors on the picture? I'm not talking about the engine cowling:p

The exhaust doors on the sides are missing, but so too are the intercooler and ductwork that the doors were there for.  It would be interesting to know how much less power that Jug has available without its turbo.  On another note, the lack of a vent tube on the battery greatly increases the chance of corrosion in the tail.

Chunder, looks like she still has the rear fuse vent (the rear belly scoop).
As far as power is concerned, for sure this one is not going over 20k :D

Maybe the turbo is still working, the supercharger definitly inop.

While the turbosupercharger may still work (in the first photo one can see the ducting aft from the "exhaust pipe"), the ductwork that would carry the supercharged air back to the carburetor is gone... in effect the only thing get supercharged is the aft fuselage :)  All this is moot of course, since the aircraft most likely never ventures above 10-13k feet.
