To answer Isaac:
Forced induction is a POWER TRIP not any thing else...the use of turbos it to allow smaller engines with greater power out of them...and of course GREATER ware, and GREATER costs to repair and fasted wear out and sooner replacement sales of new cars.
A WIN, WIN, WIN for the car makers and dealers.
My 03 Fords 4.6 V8 have a rep for lasting 100 to 150K in police duty, then sold to Cab companies and they getting another 100 to 150K more use and even then IF you want to keep going a set of heads usually does it for another 100 to 150Ks.
My 03 Crown Vic as 185K and my 03 Explorer has 215K on it and did need a set of timing chains and the 5R55s need rebuilding of its real original 208K on it.
I fully expect to get a minimum of 60 to 100K out of these cars.
