Can't they be sent in to be upgraded though?

Why would you spend money to upgrade an old one when you can spend the money to get a new one with newer and better tech? Getting an old one upgraded is a waste of money imo.

I have both an older model V1 that's current so far as upgrades and a new model V1 GEN2.

Originally, I had the original larger body older model. Not sure how old that jewel was, but I'm sure it was close to 20 years old. With the advent of parking, back up and lane assistance on cars, the old V1 became useless. It spent more time in alarm than not, so I traded it for a newer V1. That model, the V1, pretty much gives me false alarms when I'm in the vicinity of newer Acura's/Honda's, and some newer Mazda's. The new new V1 GEN2 I have seems to perform exactly the same so far as detection and false alarms, though it certainly has additional doodads.

You know it needs replacing....your windshield washer mode won't work and there'll be clear signs on the front exterior of a leak. I experienced this on my former Cayman GTS car.

@4 Point 0 the side by side really shows the difference in the inlet size and compressor design.

Will all Tial turbos using the GTS cores be M800? or will there be variations based on GTS housing. This is the first set of Tials based on the GTS cores correct?

Yes this is the first based on GTS frames. Called M800 - GTS.

M660 are based on base frames.

Sorry, the new one ways 15 pounds, OEM is about 43 pounds. I was rounding, its actually closer to 30 pounds difference.

I don't know what others have experienced but Valentine didn't upgrade mine when I sent it in. They sent me the new V1 version 2. They kept the old one.
