that guy does seem like a muppet, if you asked him if VAG only sold its turbo cars to "boy racers" he'd backpedle like hell.

I think that you are missing the point.

I think this is actualy refering to modern turbo diesels which run lean. Just look at the kgCO2/mile diesel compared to petrol and you can see where they are coming from Edited by Sprocket on 12th Oct, 2009. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

turbo's in dailly drivers are definately the way forward. the amount of torque that's available for a smallish engine size is stunning, and with fairly small turbo's, lag is a thing of the past.

for some reason the idea of an unpredictable handgrenade of an engine just popped into my head. seriously though, i recon the main thing holding back seriously fuel efficient engines is the catalitic converter. they dont like lean mixtures, so engines cant run super lean at part throttle cruies. ford spent seriouse money building the cvh as a lean burn engine and the whole thing went to pot due the the government geting everyone to nail a cat to their engines. we had a astra tdi in a while ago, it was bloody slow and wouldnt go over 50mph, on the rollers it made about 21bhp. turned out the actuator was siezed solid so no boost. what surprized me was it was a 1.2 tdi, i recon it shows what you can do with a turbo diesel engine if thay can use a engine this size.
