turbos were used before then. i think they were first used by english car builders in the 1920s?

they were developed during ww1 for airplanes...

I meant turbos first applications in automobiles

your right, after researching the two cars i thought/believed were turbos. they are both actually supercharged. both in the 1920's though.

Yeah it was in the 80s I believe when trubos where first being manufactured with automobiles. In fact I believe the VW Golf diesel was one of the first cars.

Oldsmobile actually has the first one. A 1962 Spitfire, with water injection. thehunterooo had it right.
