well i was walking through the shop today and decided to snap a picture of one of the turbos that we deal with on a daily basis. it pushed 60psi and upto 500hp at 2500ft-lb torque...
now its a smaller version on what goes on out volvo 16l motor, but looks identical. its water cooled and VG, so there is ZERO lag... the trucking industry has had VGT's for the last 20 years and i think they are the coolest things ever...
right now there is a recall going around for the VGT's where the turbo vains stick not actuating. making the surbo fail and throw coads so we are doing them on a weekly basis...
whos going to miss one little turbo missing....
........ but the one for the 16l weighs 100-150lb and needs a eng. hoist to install...
