P38 allison engines
#3

I expect the P322 sounded much like the P-38's still flying today. I don't know if any restored and airworthy P-38's have retained functioning turbochargers as they add more complexity to the engine and exhaust system and are not useful at the lower altitudes at which restored aircraft operate. Most of the P-38's I have seen simply have a large exhaust stack exiting the top of the nacelle, no turbo.
