If you turbo normalize a Bonanza, you get a 300 lb. gross weight increase. 50 lbs goes to the turbo normalizer, leaving 250 lbs. additional usefull load. The TN Bonanza has a usefull load of 1,400 lbs. Taking out 400 lbs for fuel leaves 1,000 lbs for passengers and golf clubs. That’s plenty.
Correct and a great thing to do. Be sure to add TKS before the turbo conversion or there may be an STC issue (or is that the tip tanks that are the problem?). This is done via STC and not from the factory if I understand it correctly. I was just comparing new factory planes. There is a tip tank mod as well that is good. The rear tank mod for the V-tail just adds to CG issues or so my Bonanza friends tell me.
