While "turbo lag" and "spool up" time have been reduced, there still isn't  
a lot of power "down low". By some increment, every additional system 
(turbo,  supercharger, power steering) reduces reliability by increasing 
complexity.  But, the simple fact is "Americans drive torque, not horsepower".
