A few years back I made a post on here detrimental in regards to turbos and how I refused to ever own one. I got reamed and schooled about how much better the new and ‘technology improved’ turbos were so much better than the earlier ones.
Then, I began to read how so many engines were being coked up and such with carbon due to turbos and the newer fuel injection ‘technology.’
I maintain to never own a turbocharged vehicle and the same applies to any electrical vehicle.

Turbos huh?

Not you of course, but people like you used to post all the time about them dang hybrids.

How they are useless, worthless and won’t last 2-3 years without needing a $5,000 battery.

20 years later, we see how silly they were. And these same people today have the same silly mindset against EV’s.

Oh well.

And as far as turbo engines? Yes please. Give me a turbo 4 cylinder that gets better mileage and more horsepower than a six cylinder.

When they started putting 4cylinder turbos engines in large cars and pickup trucks I got no end of flack from people who crowed about their great high horsepower turbo engines and refused to believe that such engines would be lucky to live half as long as a V8 with similar power. Now I hear them crying.

How do you spell “Turbo”? T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
