If anyone has seen the article in TURBO Magazine on the new technology from garret, could you comment on how it applies to FDs? For instance are there any applications for our cars, is it worth waiting for if there isn't? I am shopping for a single set up right now but can wait if it's worth it. Not being familiar with the turbo world, I didn't quite grasp all of what was being written ( though I got some) especially regarding the different sizes and lines Garret will be implementing the new design in. Thanks.

call an official garrett distributor and ask them about the new garrett turbos.

are you talking about the VATN's? The ones that vary the a/r to boost quicker?

Those cost a pretty penny.

The article didn't have a name for the new design. It had something to do with the aerodynamics of the vanes and something about a port on.......**** it I'll scan the article.
