Theres conflict with that, or at least some form of limitation to the claim.
According to Borg Warner it was 1925 before the first
successful use in motor racing. I do note it says successful, not just use. The shipping industry had used turbo chargers in 1905. Daimler Benz apparently looked into it in 1885 and 1896
(Ill bet the horse wasnt happy) . Either way, it wasnt the Japs or the Yanks.
They do say the first passenger and mass produced car was a GM in the 60's.
