This is some pretty cool tech:

although it seems like it's been around for a few years in the diesel world.

November 16 of this year marked the day a century ago that Dr. Alfred Buchi received the first patent for an exhaust gas turbocharger. Porsche will be celebrating the turbo’s 100-year anniversary a little late when it introduces the next 911 Turbo sometime next year with Variable Turbine Geometry.

While some diesel engines have enjoyed this technology since the Nineties, the higher exhaust gas temperatures created by gasoline engines necessitated the creation of new heat-resistant materials to handle the hotness.


hotness....is that a technical term? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
