for a turbocharged gasoline engine, TJI is without doubt must-have technology.......you can be rest assured if Porsche /Toyota were not using it last year, they will be this year for sure.......the technology is unique to Mahle and heavily patented, so you would need to first sign a mass production contract with Mahle before they let you use it in a race application.......this is how they work on the piston business, no mass production pistons = no race pistons
