It may have escaped your notice, but turbos on petrol engines are nothing

gone back from using turbos to simply fitting a bigger engine of similar
output. Perhaps you'd explain just why - if they are such a panacea.


Ive not studied the car market for a couple of years but last time I did,
smaller, lighter, turbo units were the fashion. Which makers/models have
gone back to bigger N/A?

The ones in dave's socialist utopia.
Here if its not a hybrid, it probably has a turbo unless its REALLY top
end, when it will be a supercharger.
