and Prodigy, what does it matter if its on gas or diesel....a turbo is a turbo is it not?



This new turbo has little bitty parts that are normally very sensitive to heat. Gasoline burns hotter and produces higher EGT than diesel. It looks like Porsche and Garrett found out that T316 (or higher) can handle the heat.



"porsche developed its version of VTG with Borg warner turbo systems, overcoming the far higher exhaust-gas temperatures of a gasoline engine with "temperature-resistant materials derived from aerospace technology"

Road & Track

what is the EGT on gas engines typically? Mine are supposedly ~1300
