okay, you said dont talk economics with him, and quoted a statement i made about joel giambra…just to let you know, anyone working for the country pretty much has him as a boss.

regardless your a real piece of work, just keep talking slick. youre pretty good at it.

Nice to go OT on your own thread

i can agree to a certain extent with that. i believe alot of it has to do with their heritage, and back when their designs were revolutionary, alot of buyers these days are from that generation. my uncle with his boxster “i have always wanted a porsche”

I should also clarify that my statement applies mostly to the 911 and all its variants.

Porsches shouldn’t be exclusive, they’re drivers cars…they shouldn’t be rich fuckwad mobiles

fuckwad, good word.

-to freek’s comment, i hardly call the 997 slow, i dont care which one of your friends drove it…maybe he drove a NA 997 911 which arent impressive as far as speed goes, but still unbelievable to drive

Porsche’s new turbo(model 997) is running a Twin Turbine setup with a first for turbo charged cars…this design will revolutionize the power of running two turbos(running at lower boost) and having it perform and drive like a single turbo at high boost, with no or greatly reduced down time and overworking 1 turbo(less heat/more performance).

Maybe I’m reading this wrong but it sounds like your saying this car has two turbos. The article says it has only one…it just “allows the angle of the compressor’s turbine blades to continually adjust.”

I haven’t tuned a turbo like that before, but I’ve worked with a VNT (variable nozzle) turbo off a truck that was put on a car and it weighed about 80 pounds. It does spool up quickly, but the flow with the nozzle “squinting” obviously isn’t anywhere near what it is with the nozzle expanded. While you’re building pressure more quickly you aren’t getting a massive gain in low end flow. This design is fine on trucks but doesn’t make much sense to me on a car. With more time I can see it being improved upon so we’ll see what happens.

I’m curious to see if the variable wheel angle design performs better.

Holyshit they are Innovative turbos?!?

Seriously though, I still want to know the cost of these bad boys.
It seems the money is not well spent.
I bet they could have put CF wheels on the car for less money.

true to that. but i like where they are going with it…big turbo with VGT with quick spool up, as a single setup on a 4 banger would be interesting.
