New Turbos for Older Cirrus SR22s

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Tornado Alley (TAT) is releasing its turbonormalizing systems, previously successful as factory-installed options, for aftermarket Cirrus SR22 owners.
  • These kits will be compatible with most SR22 models (except the earliest) and are expected to begin shipping in late 2008 or early 2009.
  • The turbonormalizing modification significantly enhances the SR22's performance, enabling it to achieve speeds over 200 knots in the low flight levels.

Cirrus and Tornado Alley have enjoyed smashing success with the turbonormalized SR22. Now that Tornado Alley has caught its production up to Cirrus’s impressive demand, it’s doing what it set out to in the first place: making the turbonormalizing systems available to aftermarket SR22 owners. TAT’s Tim Roehl told AVweb about these systems when we visited the TAT booth on Thursday afternoon. Roehl said the Cirrus aftermarket kits will be available for all but the earliest model SR22s and should begin shipping by late 2008 or early 2009. Turbonormalizing turns the already speedy SR22 into a 200-knot-plus airplane in the low flight levels. In a little more than a year, Cirrus has sold some 500 factory turbonormalized SR22 and demand continues to be strong.
