What is going on with all the Turbo hate? I could understand from the dated point of view of turbo lag and reliability, but times have changed. The newer technology is amazing and it truely is the best of both worlds.
I have previously owned a Supra twin turbo that I dumped a ton of mods into. (single turbo, intercooler, cams, built tranny, high stall TQC, electronics, etc). That car put down 500 rwhp through an auto box on a dyno. It was the most intense car I have ever driven.
Best of all? It was the best of both worlds. I could daily drive it and keep my foot out of it and get respectable gas mileage. Or, I could bury my foot in it and take nearly any car on the road.
What I really dont understand are the performance critics. Turbos give peak torque through such a massive power band. Why would you want anything less??
