Noel,
As someone who spent a year chasing EMI/RFI interference in our radio(dynon 7 in skyview + dynon radio & intercom) , the best advice i could give you would be to buy a mgl V6 R remote radio , mount it in the rear baggage/rollover structure and mount a mgl R2 remote head in the far right of the panel. I did this with a xcom radio + remote head. We did everything, talked to tech at dynon, had the local avionics repair shop guy take a look, ferrite beads , shielding etc . Could never get it all out. Did many tests with handheld, vs panel mount. We have our com antenna mounted on top behind rollover bulkheads. Sitting in the plane between the antenna and efis, every time you put your hand near the efis it caused noise in headsets, also we got some type of static bursts now and then. My guess is you will get your efis back from mgl with the note that everything is ok.
Also advice to anyone installing an efis: install some steam guages as back ups so you can still fly . Airspeed , altimeter, rpm, oil pressure. Weve had to send our efis and ems box into dynon for repair on separate occasions. Dont get grounded on a beautiful day to fly because your panel is empty.
Other radios that offer a remote unit with a head are becker , and trig.
Most of the units are connected by a single shielded RS232 line with 3.5 mm plugs. Or d-sub connecters. Make sure the wires are shielded.
Sorry to hear about your oil mess.
Good luck with your aerovee turbo. Alot of you guys have some good ideas on cooling . The factory is working on something too.
