You think the Ferrari F40 has Italian turbos?

edit: For the sake of noobs who do not know much about turbos...

When you want pizza, you go to a pizza place, when you want steak you go to a steak house. Turbos, there are only a few well established manufacturers. When you want a reliable turbo from an specific manufacturer, Mitsubishi is a great place to go.

IHI=Japanese, very common on a variety of cars including the Ferrari F40
Mitsubishi=Japanese, again very common, on a variety of cars including my old Saab Viggen-a Swedish car
Garret=US company, even some Nisans+ Saabs had them even some GM cars like the McLaren Pontiac Grand Prix which had a T25

There are others, such as Holset which are more common on big Diesel products.

Point is, you go for the component that is specialized by a manufacturer. This stupidity about the country of origin for the turbo of your German car is not a place to have a concern about origin. Go find some German turbos for your German cars...see how that works out for you.

ouch truth hurts doesn't it?
