Anyone ever run one?
I've been considering a new turbo to keep up with the fuel I'm dumping in her.. I'm sure there much more expensive that regular turbos. I thought I might be able to run one of those, instead of compound turbos.
Right now I'm having fun with the truck on the street, but in the long run, I want the truck suited better off road than on.
Thanks for any input.

 

i haven't read anything about aftermarket variable geometry turbos....
but many or most of the new trucks are coming out with them as standard equipment....

 

big rig stuff,
but interesting, nice video as well...
click VG turbos

 

I think they are the wave of the turbo future ...........I know Aurora has one out but dont know much details on em

 

interesting to learn more about.

how does VTG work?

Variable Turbine Geometry technology is the next generation in turbocharger technology where the turbo uses variable vanes to control exhaust flow against the turbine blades. See, the problem with the turbocharger that we’ve all come to know and love is that big turbos do not work well at slow engine speeds, while small turbos are fast to spool but run out of steam pretty quick. So how does VTG turbos solve this problem?

A Variable Turbine Geometry turbocharger is also known as a variable geometry turbocharger, or a Variable Nozzle Turbine (VNT). A turbocharger equipped with Variable Turbine Geometry has little movable vanes which can direct exhaust flow onto the turbine blades. The vane angles are adjusted via an actuator. The angle of the vanes vary throughout the engine RPM range to optimize turbine behaviour.
