Who said that?
A diesel engine has way more exhaust output than a comparable gasoline engine.
True, but I was replying to your first idiotic comment when you said you need HIGH RPMs for the turbo to be even functional.
With a gas engine you would need higher exhaust output which would make u fail emmission tests.
Come again?
Why would you turbo charge an engine originally designed to be an economical engine?
WTF does that have to do with it? You don't put a turbo on a car to be more economical, you put a turbo on the car because you want more power. Not one factory engine is DESIGNED to be turbocharged by an aftermarket supplier, so that's a moot point.
You're zetec has more low end torque (low rpms) so you're engine will have a great deal of turbo lag.
OMG. So you think turbo lag is ONLY affected by you having low-end torque? I won't even bother to comment on this. You're a moron. What about turbo size? What about the vane design and geometry inside the turbo?
Please, I beg you, don't make yourself look any more stupid than you have already done. Really, I don't care about that, I care more of the fact that you're spewing ridiculously false banter on the forums for others to read.
Again, I'm far from a being a turbo expert, I have the basics covered.
