4-cylinder turbos, you got one?

So many vehicles now with 4-cylinder turbos. Even $40-50K+ Germans, Range Rovers, Audis, Volvos, Lexus, etc.
Do you like them? Seems like just more moving parts to break as the car gets older.

I had a Saab with a 6 speed manual transmission, is was surprisingly fast for a 4 cylinder.

Yes. At 155K and need a new turbo.

Owned one for a while. Thought it was fun.

I had an Acura Integra GSR for. Few years that we put an aftermarket turbo on. It was pretty fun.

Depending on how the turbo is set up they can mimic the power curve of a much larger NA engine.
While you don't see them in cars you can design an undersquare NA inline 4 with big torque down low.

I have an 8-cyliner diesel with a turbo, it runs great.

Cadillac vSport with twin turbo 3.6 puts out 420hp. The V8 640hp.

I had a 2004 Saab 9-3 with the low pressure turbo. When you knew where its sweet spot was, it would fly.
BTW, I miss it. Was most fun car I ever had.

Last 3 cars of the brides and my last 2 trucks have had turbos on them. No problems of any kind and they all run very good for the engine sizes.

It'll be gone before the warranty's out and I'll just get a new one.
Sorry you're poor and have to keep a car out of warranty.

Any good examples? I'd be curious to drive one.
I was on the road a couple of weeks ago, and the rental agency put me in turbocharged 4 cylinder Camaro. The low end power was really poor.

Well, I bet a lot of you voted Democrat, especially some of you South Lewzianer ppl.
You reap what you sow.

C300 has an amazing powerband. Especially when in sport+ where the turbos stay spooled up.
