I think there might be something to this turbocharging thing............
Sure, turbo charging has some unique characteristics.
But in a perfect world without eco and econ considerations, turbos are like drinking your own piss.. there is no reason why you would want to do it (except min. weight at the expense of response, and driving pleasure)
