Well, no. Because the 4 pot Turbo, as a rule, only struggles if the driver is monumentally shit and has let the revs get to sub 1800/2000. And if you've done that you clearly don't deserve a Turbo petrol, and should have some heap of crap diesel.
Not true. Even if you are a lunatic (I was) you are not always on boost as rpm is not what determines this. RPM x throttle position or load is. So if you are on max boost already then you ran into the car in front. And even if you are in race mode full boost takes time.
Most of the people including you will be in traffic off boost at times, and when a gap appears, you will be too late to attempt it. If you cant see this then you have have either never had a litre plus bike or a v8 large capacity car.
I have had turbo this and that and both fast and v8 cars. It recalibrates your brain a bit!
You've already said that the Straight six is better than the Mopar V8 options anyway.
Please, don't wreck a musclecar. Putting a Supra lump in a musclecar is ruining it. It is a classic, an unusual car in a global perspective, and one that there are presumably less and less of.
At least go back to the terminal rust and broken mount car, haggle, cut the rust out and repair the mount if you want to do a transplant.
Classic Australian metal is something which doesn't get enough exposure.
Richard (wants a P76).
You almost had me until I read what was in the brackets. The P76 is one of the ugliest pieces of shit ever made.

So why the f*ck were you saying I was wrong then when you don't have the slightest clue about them?
Hmm...looks like I won that one then.
Oh dear.
No it isn't.
Milk floats around here are LDV 400's. THe battery powered milkfloat is a disappearing thing.
I see you have to use someone elses argument to say I'm wrong. Whats the matter? Incapable of coming up with one of your own?
BAAAAA.
Summat to do with a 9-11 litre displacement and a quite small turbo for the size.
Because you yourself admitted you know nowt so it was either completely wrong or you used someone elses argument which I'm not going to credit to you.
Guess that's the price we pay for the modern interiors?
I know..just read about the Supra weighing more. That honestly shocked me. Another example of one step forwards and back.
Such as setting off from traffic lights/roudabout etc.
It is.
So if you want/need to set off quickly, launch on boost...
yeah it suprised me too the first time i found out, a lot of muscle cars really dont weigh a lot.
Cos' he obviously knows more about 'em than you ?
Only in your head Conor...
We "know" you haven't a clue Conor, no need to keep ramming your ignorance down our collective throat....
