first pic, completely unrelated: this is the bee's knees.

so, i'm sitting here thinking about turbocharging, and a question arose that i figured oppo could help out with. i'll make 2 or 3 questions out of it to make it more fun.

1) whats the best 'factory' (of course racecars are included) turbo/engine combination?

2) big engine/small twins or small engine/big single?

3)

EJ series flat 4 with itty bitty turbos.

Throttle response and midrange torque mountains are barrels of fun. Couple that with grippy awd and you're never off the throttle
