You are indeed correct about the bottom end power (something the 90 knows 
nothing about...) and it's simplicity....
Whenever we 'talk' about this topic, his point of reference is a Dodge 
laser turbo or possibly an SVO.. any mass production small spooling 
turbo. Mine is more of an Esprit or S4 etc... any turbo that is done 
'right', not like somtheing that came out of detroit (Ill get hate mail 
for this one for sure!), where the the stock laser is 140 horse, and the 
turbo laser is 145 horse (hypothetical #'s but you get the point!). One 
must say, "Why a turbo" when he can take his small block chevy which is 
300 HP, and 380 with a blower.. but what he doesnt know, he can get 500 
safe good hp with a turbo. I dont mean to bash superchargers, they do the 
job, just that I prefer turbo's.
