Turbos also need a cool down after driving. Like the one lady I knew who went through at least two turbos because she'd come off the highway, park, and then shut the engine off immediately. A turbo-less engine has fewer parts to go wrong. I still think that with the way electric drives are it woult make more sense to put more power to the electric part of the hybrid and not worry so much about the power of the gasoline engine.
