Doesn't look bad...I do think however some manufacturers are taking the whole "retro" model naming a little too far...

And that's how you destroy turbos and motors, there is a reason they dial them down

and your reasoning behind that statement is why? they are tuned down just like every car is from the factory because of regulations and emissions

I agree. Dodge absolutely nailed it with the Challenger but other makes and models not so much.

It's the same thing with all turbo boosted gas systems, if you crank up the boost you will create more heat which will wear out the parts much faster, I'm not saying it will do it right away. But it will shorten the life significantly.

All turbo systems are tuned down, so i am sure similar gains will be possible with other motors, ecoboost are not unique in that way.
