Today's turbos

[ls1mike]

All of my old Turbo Dodges (Daytona's, Lancer's, Omni's you get the idea) were water cooled. The original cars all had Garrett turbos, 85ish to 87ish. In 88ish only the intercooled cars, Turbo II, got the Garrett. The non intercooled cars, Turbo I, got the Mitsubishi.
The Garrett was a better unit.

The LTG 2.0 turbo in the Malibu is water cooled.

Yeah, I don't know how well the mechanical wastegate worked. All mine were 85 or better. The computer controlled ones worked pretty good.
