In almost all situations (except for all-out automotive performance and
aircraft useage), turbochargers on gasoline engines are a dumb idea. I'm
not opposed to owning an aircraft with one, but it would be
turbo-normalized at most... no full-time turbo since you have to throw
away HP with CR just to gain it back (and burn more fuel, require more
octane, and cook your jugs).



What is CR?
