[QUOTE
Well I only said it seemed "stressy" to me, based on the albeit limited considerations I presented. Certainly this turbo is a brand new application of the technology and I wasn't prepared to be a practical ginie (sp?) pig.
="Negan, post: 108396, member: 6961"]If you're so risk averse when it comes to new engineering in a car, why did you buy a first model year of a complete redesign to begin with? Seems a car like the Corolla would have been a better fit for you.[/QUOTE]
I was a lot younger then. I'm 70 now. In any case, it turned out to be a good bet. It was still perfect, original traction battery & all, but developed an incurable problem with the AC (porosity in nearly every component requiring regular topping up of the coolant). Hope all with the turbo fare as well.
