Is it a "ten eighty tee eye", or a "one thousand and eighty tee eye"?

Agree, If they are using the symbol 'Ti' being the chemical symbol for Titanium, while it is written as 'Ti', when said, the word "Titanium" should be used....We don't say "ampersand", when we come across the symbol in a sentence.
It clearly means turbo-injection. o.0 ...why else would they have a 'GT' model... 😵
The way we say stuff boils down to laziness really imo (there I did it again, you didn’t just say “eye em oo”..maybe if you didn't know what the letters meant 😲 )... If the combination of letters, could in our minds sound like plausible/cipherable English...it's quicker to say them together as a word. If the letters don't roll off the tongue easy... we say the individual letters...perhaps subconsciously to also avoid confusion about which letters were present in the thing we just said..o.0
And then there's jpg. When you start saying the letters of an abbreviation, but give up and pronounce the rest as a word.
