I would just like to see their Cub with floats back for the current MSFS. I think that was like the first A2A aircraft release and the only one I own.

This.

Looks like the turbo arrow would win above 14K ft or so.  Just looking at the airspeed indicators- they look very similar.

The non-turbo JF Arrow barely makes it far enough on the airpeed indicator for the needle to make it to the TAS compensated section. Manifold pressure starts to drop as soon as you're above sea level.

I don't see how the Turbo would be the same speed.

It would if you were higher.  I assume the turbo charged version could go higher than the normally aspirated engine.  Tht higher you are the more KTAS you'll get at tht same KIAS.

Example 140 KIAS at 6000 vs 16000 ft is a decent difference of True airspeed.

I would also love the Cub (I flew A2A's Cub back in the day as well), but MSFS has a long way to go with taildraggers... lateral ground friction seems to be broken in the sim and it's impossible to groundloop aircraft. I know the real Cub is pretty docile, but I'm sure it doesn't take too kindly to sideloading the gear during a landing.

To the best of my knowledge Turbo Arrow IV's in the real world often cruise at 18,000 or right at their 20,000 foot service ceiling for a long distance flight.  Up that high, their TAS is better than most piston single GA's.   And you can't go wrong looking at that T-tail.  I figure that site Bob linked to is showing a TAS cruise at altitude, there 177 KTAS is possible.

Someone will come along and correct me if I'm wrong, but the A2A Comanche for P3D is not a turbocharged variant.  Piper made quite a few turbocharged versions though.  Maybe they'll model one for MSFS.

The A2A Comanche 250 is their best add-on aeroplane by far; if they can even match its P3D fidelity in MSFS, then it will be a watershed moment for the credibility of the new MS sim.

“By far” is an overstatement, chock. It’s possibly their best, but they don’t make any duds and whilst the comanche is my favorite too, some weeks i,prefer the v-tail, the cherokee, the spit or the p-51. Or maybe the new version of the cub, even the c182. A2a’s strength is their consistency.

May be somewhere but not typically where I fly. Oxygen refill kind of expensive to use on regular basic. I know a lot of Turbo Arrow in LA basin used by business owners to hop over mountains toward  San Fernando valley. Good performance at 7000ft to 12000 ft is about what it can reasonable offer without oxygen tank hassle.

Does the Turbo Arrow feature a pressurized cabin?

Nope.  Only single engine piston Piper (actually one of the few that went into production - Cessna P210 is another) that is presurursied is the Malibu.

Yep and the Waco

So I hope Just Flight model it. Similar to the Real Air Duke would be sufficient for me.

12,000 ft without O2...  Not thrilled with that idea.
