The pilot departed the airport and leveled off at a cruising altitude of 14,500 feet msl. He leaned the mixture and set a cruise power setting of 24 inches of manifold pressure and 2400 rpm. Shortly thereafter, the manifold pressure dropped to 22 inches. He applied power, and the manifold pressure was briefly restored, then dropped again. He found an open field in which to make an emergency landing. Prior to touching down, the left wing impacted a tree, and the aircraft nosed over upon impact with the ground. Following the accident, a teardown inspection was performed on the turbocharger. Evidence of rotational scoring was found on the turbine components. The rotation of the thrust bearing was allowed by the displacement of the anti-rotation pins below the surface of the center housing. Rotational score marks on the back side of the turbine wheel provided evidence that the turbine wheel had contacted the turbine shroud. According to the aircraft maintenance records, the last major overhaul of the turbocharger was accomplished in 1987
Probable Cause: A partial loss of engine power due to a partial failure of the turbocharger.
