Chicago Tribune article: Turbos roar to forefront in race for fuel economy
I saw this article in today's Chicago Tribune.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...,7349280.story No wonder the auto industry is so screwed up if they just now are realizing the benefits of turbos!!!

Yeah, they've only been on American production cars since 1963. Hehe. I think Olds was first followed by the Corvair, afterwhich cubic inches took over. Then the lame 301 Trans Am followed by a bunch of early 80s Chrysler FWD vehicles.

I like this sentence from that article.
"That's because turbos, high-velocity fans that recirculate and compress exhaust gases back into the motor's cylinders" Sounds like a real knowledgable automotive writer. David 87GN
