<VV> TURBO CHARGING

[BBRT]

Using a variable vane turbo is a great idea. They are available. Discussed a 
while back on fastvairs. Probably in archives somewhere. I believe the VNT 
was discussed in articles on internet as well. I would think the idea of 
mechanical linking the turbo to a TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) would be 
feasible.

Or ......."Uh, yeah.. Don't try anything new... make sure we stay in 1955 
technology... Better not try new oils..maybe we can find some straight 30 
weight ..."
