    These seem to be made for you. MUCH less lag than the IHI prehistoric turbo's, but about the same size.

    If it can't be done with a OBD hookup and laptop, a new chip can be burned.

    I know someone who tried GT2860s in an F40, they work great but required a lot of fabrication for the install.

    A new chip needs to be burned.

    They cant be done via OBD flash, the chips are the old style non-flash capable. Its the latter, a burned chip. For the guys who dont know how that works, they are burned with a UV light with a specialized machine. Not many people can do it, thats for sure.

    It would be nice if there was a turbo upgrade option for the F40 with variable geometry (VGT). Modern turbo with minimal lag. If you find an option like that, please keep all of us posted. Thanks!

    My understanding was the factory LMs used bigger IHI turbos manufactured by the Japanese company to spec for Ferrari, see below the difference between the standard units and the LM items.
