As one of their new distributors, I was allowed some leaway. As long as I didn't photograph key systems and prototypes, it was ok. They wanted to make sure I knew about them as much as I could.

Damn, thats pretty cool then. Security at the company I work for would beat your *** if they saw you with a camera inside. Even though if you want to see anything we do, you just have to go to a GM dealership and look under some cars.

I was able to take home some samples for some R&D, and understanding their measurement and flow design. It's great stuff, but the measurements, though similar to Garrett, have their own subtlties that I'm getting used to.

 

Opps, forgot one..

 

 

So, since you're sellin' em' now...
What makes em' special?

I wanna jump on a bandwagon for once!

J/K, tell us a bit about em.

American Axle and Manufacturing. Its in Buffalo, and I'm living in Rochester. Thats why I get up at 5 every day to go to work and I don't have much time to work on my car during the week.

 

bw turbos are basically the same as all the other ones out there. i have a borg backplate in my garrett T4

 

 

 

i know why you were there other than becoming a dealer
peter called me (very cool guy btw)
