Who has seen the new Banks turbos?
http://www.bankspower.com/index.cfm
I just watched Spike TV's episode of Xtreme 4x4 and saw how Banks has enginered a turbo that has variable exhaust fins built into the turbo! The computer moves the fins to different angles to virtually eliminate turbo lag. Low throttle or foot on the floor driving, it adjusts to your engine speed and throttle position.
I saw it and just drooled. I wonder how long until others come out with something like this for all kinds of turbos.

I actually know the guy who invented them. He has done most of the work for Dodge and Ford's turbo kits. He owns quite a few different businesses but he's probably most known for ATS.
He also has the fastest dune buggy in the 100 yd dash up comp hill at the dunes. It's powered by a 13b and runs on pure propane. It made a little over 740hp on an engine dyno. I rode in it and it's SICK!!!!

Man I didn't know these were actually out yet. i read about these in corcky bells book. One of the guys in that supra post was saying that they won't be tolerant of higher temps...i really hope this isn't true so that we can eventually get them on our 7s. They actually make more power as well since none of the exhaust gasses are wasted going out the wastegate.
Blue TII...he doesn't actually have it on his car, does he?
