Default Turbo Technology?

How often does turbo technology advance and new turbos come out?

Not models persay... but parts on already released models.

Like... is the GT35r the same GT35r part for part that it's been since it came out?

Another question... when did the GT series turbos come out?

Ask Jose about this. He can tell you within the past 2 years its ever revolving. Before that the turbos were all the same from the 80s-90's. Now we get units here for testing all the time which are engineering blanks or samples. Jose and Jason are probably at the top of the game when it comes to the latest from everyone. They don't stick to just one manufacture...which is what sets them apart. Also most manufactures will come out with new turbos, then sit on them for several years before any updates. The GT series has had some advancements in the past couple of years, but their turbos are still heavily rooted in diesels, which is where they have evolved from. Some of the newer GT series stuff though is now being focused to just gas engines, which will help the industry out quite a bit. But you also have new manufactures coming with there versions.
