Good analysis. I am also reminded of a Scotty Kilmer video reminding
that if you turbocharge an engine you must remember they you need a
beefed up drive train to adequately handle the extra power.

One of the down ticks for the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is the 2 liter
engine. When asked why they don't turbocharge it Toyota answers it is
well balanced as it is and more power would mean a redesign. Even the
tuners say any engine work will need a beefier clutch.

i wonder what the current trend towards smaller engines with boost will
mean in longevity. It's not like a few decades ago when cars were
over-engineered.
