Most impressive part of that article:
Constantly adjusting turbine vanes!? That sounds super awesome, although seems like this would be a probable point of failure with moving parts that spin that fast...
The carbon fiber enclosed control unit on top of the turbocharger assembly controls the Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) system, which continually adjusts the angles of the vanes on the turbine wheel to make sure there is no lag in throttle response and power. This is also guaranteed during gear shifts, thanks to clever use of electronics, something that apparently surprised even the ACO, the Le Mans organizer when the technical stewards were going through the engine data.

VGT setup on an S2000 would be very nice and would complement a very track worthy setup. E85 would be utilized in all it's glory with a VGT turbo it seems. For other vehicles, it appears to be the perfect remote mount turbo other than the extra electrical wiring. The tuning and wiring involved on a custom setup likely gets very messy.
They look very big and heavy though. Mount it in the S2000's passenger seat haha!

Asked this in a status update but why not here to. I have been on a retro video game kick. What was your favorite games when you were younger? PS1 and back. For me its FF7 Super Mario RPG, Mario World and Metal Gear solid. Basically these remain some of the only games I have ever played through multiple times through and will still start up and play through.

I fire up those nostalgic games but they can't hold my attention for any significant period of time.
Yea fun game play and good times, etc. but you could still be leveling your GT5 or whatever at 1080p in 5.1 rumble.

I do still play the newer games but I find they need to be really good to make me buy them. I buy maybe 3-5 games a year for my ps3 and I generally wait for the price to drop.
