If I remember correctly, Geoff works somewhat close with BW.

LOL yep lewis26 your way off the mark.... That is the exact turbo that is on the ECOboost

Secondly mr diggs is 100% correct Geoff works VERY close with Borg Warner. Like Borg Warner hired his company to help build a EcoBoost for SEMA

I think Geoff knows what he is talking about

no problem - its confusing becuase garrett turbos are used on the lighter duty FWD transverse 3.5L v6 such as taurus SHO, flex, etc.
