Idea For An Engine Option!

[dacamp66]

how about this:
T182JT-A Turbo Skylane JT-A Four-seat light aircraft with fixed landing gear, powered by a 227 hp (169 kW) SMA SR305-230 diesel engine, it burns 11 U.S. gallons (42 L; 9.2 imp gal) per hour of Jet-A and cruises at 156 kn (289 km/h). The model was first flown on 21 May 2013 and will replace avgas-burning 182s in production during 2013. Originally introduced as the Turbo Skylane NXT, Cessna changed the name to eliminate confusion with the Remos NXT. Initial price is US$515,000.[5][9][10]

That's certainly a nice engine, but with that engine comes a lot of different technologies, procedures, and requirements. It's not like making a new plane, but maybe 1/4 of the way to doing so.

True, never mind then.
maybe a turbocharger option for the current engine, (if there is such a beast in the RW that is)

Scott,

How complicated would it be to add the Turbo option to this one? Looks like that is the most popular item in the poll. Acually it is an even tie with Tundra tires, but bigger tires should be a lot simpler as another tire option.
