*AV*---Too late for me, BOI. I am in at $31.50 and had to cancel the $33 manual order for the reversal. If you feel this has agreater downward pressure, I will listen. I have an automatic sell in place at $40 for a 25% "hit and run" gain. Wish me luck.

Turbodyne's Turbopac(TM) Receives EPA Certification

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Turbodyne Technologies Inc., (Nasdaq: TRBDF, EASDAQ: TRBD) announced today it received official certification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild Program as part of a Detroit Diesel Corporation (NYSE: DDC - news) emission upgrade kit. Last July, DDC and Turbodyne submitted an application for certification at the 0.10 gram per brake horsepower hour (bhp-hr) particulate emission level. This includes all federally certified 253, 277, and 294hp DDC mechanical unit injection 6V92 engines manufactured between 1979 and 1989.

The EPA says the certified equipment may be used immediately by transit operators in compliance with requirements of the Urban Bus Retrofit/Rebuild Program.

''As part of the DDC kit, Turbodyne can now provide transit authorities across the United States the only cost effective means of complying with the EPA rebuild regulations, with significant improvement in fuel economy and vehicle performance,'' said Walter Ware, Turbodyne's President & CEO. ''Turbodyne's estimated first year sales under this program is between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000.''

The Detroit Diesel kit, sold through DDC distributors, includes parts used in the previously certified 25 percent emissions reduction kit plus a Turbopac(TM). The Turbopac(TM) is an electronical supercharger that supplies increased airflow during acceleration to optimize the fuel/air ratio. Test data for a rebuilt engine using the DDC/Turbodyne kit shows a reduction of particulate emissions down to 0.09 grams/ bhp-hr.

Turbodyne Systems, the high technology division of Turbodyne, manufactures, designs, markets and develops patented pollution-reduction, fuel economy and performance enhancing technology for internal combustion engines in the automotive, transportation, construction, marine, agriculture, mining, military and power generation industries. Commercial sales have begun. Turbodyne's light metals division is a manufacturer of machined aluminum castings and a leading supplier to the automotive industry, providing $39 million in revenues in 1997.

Offices and plants are located in Carpinteria, La Mirada, Encinitas and Woodland Hills, CA; Ensenada and Mexico City, Mexico; Northants, England; Frankfurt, Germany; Vancouver, Canada; and Paris, France.
