Never was a fan of turbo motors. Highly stressed. More shit to break and expensive to repair. No replacement for displacement.

Turbos serve two purposes;
A) adding more horsepower to an already powerful engine or
B) to make a little engine act like a big one but save fuel and have lower EPA emissions.

The question: Is the lower fuel cost worth it compared to the initial higher cost of the turbo and then the eventual replacement cost? Leasing vs owning?

Studies show that outside of turbo diesel trucks, locomotive, and marine engines, it's not worth the additional cost.
