Turbos are race equipment. The engines burn at higher temps.
You don’t have a Pit Crew or a sponsor. Do the math. Getting 300 horse out of a naturally aspirated 6 is easy these days. Another consideration is the disposable engine. Many most or all (I don’t know which) are produced thru a new process that doesn’t involve a rebuildable block. They have some kind of arc weld looking thing that passes thru the bore and creates the surface as it goes. This surface has pits in it that ends the need for crosshatching but it is unsleeveable and can’t be bored over. When it wears out its gone.

Yeah, reminds of my little KTM 390 motorcycle. Fast, torque, fun.....till the engine blew not 5000 miles into it. Thanks.
