Message	They made the GT series sound like it's some new, revolutionary design with improved aerodynamics that is vastly superior to the old T series designs. Then when you dig deeper you find out that some of their GT series turbos are nothing more than re-branded T series turbos with different bearings like the T25/ GT25. And then the GT28R has been around for a decade. So are the GT series turbos really a new design like they said, or was that just the name for some new marketing push? Which ones are truly improved?
