I have actually read somewhere that the new garrett ball bearing turbos are build on license from mitsubishi. I think it was the HKS site, but not too sure. I think the reliability problems are with the ceramic units that only have bearings at one end. 220 at the wheel is a pretty decent goal. As the japanese learned in the 70's and 80's.. sometimes it's easier to copy what someone else has already spent the money to develop. The mitsu evo uses 2.0l engine and has a great looking dyno chart. 258ft-lb by 3k and almost 300hp. Too bad that turbo won't bolt on. As far as research papers go, the heck with more school. It's time for me to go to work. I'm using my job bonus to buy the new turbo! I will post info concerning reliability, etc.
