[s-cars] K27/K26-6

[Mihnea Cotet]

Gary, Pizzo, All,

The Garrett K26 #8 stage 3 turbine isn't exactly what a real KKK #8 turbine
is, and neither is the whole hot side. The Garrett/Turbonetics hot side is
actually as big as a Sport quattro K27 #7 hot side, the exducer bore is
63mm, same for the SQ hot side, whereas a real triple-K K26 #8 hot side's
exducer bore is 56mm.

Anyway, I don't see any reason for kicking Pizzo from the list... is it
politically incorrect to say out loud what possibly many people don't dare
to say?
