variable turbine geometry

Cool stuff, was reading about the new Porsche 997 and how it's compressor fins acutally open up at higher rpms, so basically more airflow at higher rpms, but less turbo lag at low rpms. Cool stuff, thought it was brand new, wikipedia set me straight

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

Re: variable turbine geometry

It's nothing new.

Garrett made some back in the late 80s and early 90s called the VNTs. Chrysler put them on some of their cars and called it the Turbo IV.
