    the technology that Eaton used when they designed the M90 was from the mid 90's, and turbo technology has come so far since then. with compressor maps all the different nozzle's available you have so many options that can dramatically reduce spool time while still making decent power. I saw a guy who twin turboed a 3800 engine in a sand rail with 30mm turbos, and that thing only made 300 hp, but it made that power at like 2000 rpms.

    The technology Eaton used when they developed the M90 was from the 80's.
    An engine is an engine no matter the size.... I think Dr. Seuss said that... or maybe it was Big Weld....

    I just assumed, since the first one put into production was about '96. kind of impressive considering they were developed so long ago
