I drive a 1.8T and I have been known to say that I will never be without a car that has a turbo. I love the way it drives on the street, at the track and I absolutley hate the way it falls on its face on very slow auto-x turns low in second gear. But I can live with that because it is so great everywhere else. Of course this motor has been modified but only intake and exhaust; I have not touched the internals. It now has 202,000 miles on it and has been the most realible car I have owned. I have driven other cars to replace it but have not found anything that I like as much...except for the boxster. But even then I have to buy the boxster as a second car. Just love that turbo motor to much.

Lets not forget that many high power NA engines have no guts below 3 or even 4k RPM. If your comparing NA engines with wide torque curves we should compare against turbo engines with wide torque curves. Not all turbo motors have massive huffers than only come alive after 4000rpm!!! (only the fun ones do )
