Has anyone looked at using the 300hp Turbo Charged engine? What are the pros and cons, beyond the obvious modifications.

I believe the Brazilian factory models have a turbocharged option available.

I had the same question, and found out that Van's strongly discourages this. Here is an article on the subject I found in a previous post.
