The VNT turbo has 2 compressor wheels! garrett is puttin some r&d into their work.
What ever happened to the KISS theory. DANG.
why doesnt ford get a good design and stick with it? instead of making something new every year. oh yea, thats right, ford doesnt know how to come up with a good design. the duramax is the same basic platform that came out in 2000. its not a wildly different engine from the first ones, just more electronics and stuff.im not sold on that turbo tho. looks cool, but it just looks too complicated. like the rest of that 6.7. its gonna be funny when GM drops the 7.4 Duramax. LMAO
yea, GM/Isuzu decides to postpone production of the 4.5 Duramax and ford steals the idea and makes it first. but the 4.5 had the design first, so it doesnt really matter, it just shows us fords true colors.
Everyone steals from everyone at that level, really.

Back when Chrysler was devloping the slant 6 they stole their cam profile from GM who has happened to steal it from Porsche.. Anymore, though, it isn;t always who has the new design first, but who builds it to actually work..
