If I remember correctly, the usual way as used by rally cars is to send fuel into the turbo itself, which then ignites inside the turbine housing spinning the blades. You can also do this using a two-step rpm controller which will build boost as it bangs off the first limiter. Will be interesting to see what the life-expectancy of these turbos is...

That's because you're steering wheel is on the wrong side. But most cars in US are cheaper then in Europe ... They compensate by going over that MSRP-thing, we don't have in Europe, tough :-)

I guess, but besides the front fascia and rear spoiler, there has never been much difference. This one at least has much different rear fascia, although the front fascia looks almost the same as the turbo to me. I guess they have always looked the same to me, and wont change with this model.

true...but there is just something about this one that looks like "modded turbo" to me...I dont know what is giving me that impression...but when my car is next to a GT2...it just looks so different...who knows...
