15 years ago I lost a turbocharger on the left hand engine in a PA31 (with vortex kit) on climb about 500' from RWY29 at Bankstown whilst on a Bankrun (morning DEP). With one good engine and no turbochager on the left the aircraft barely climbed. After that experience I can see losing one completely could/would give you no climb performance.

Does anyone know if the Mojave can be fitted with the vortex kit (like all other PA31's), giving it an increased take off weight?
