Play poker with him you can’t lose.

I prefer for someone else to buy it loaded and I buy that in a few years

I have a Ford Fiesta ST, 1.6l, max factory boost is 21 psi for up to ten seconds then falls way back as does hp and torque output. The engines actually have proved to be quite robust even in track applications with increased boost.

$600 bucks for a new sensor, $205 for casual dinner. Wow, I’d be hurting.

Fortunately that’s the first failure on that car in almost 100k miles! (but the routine maintenance is a killer). Dinner out is a rare treat now.

A friend’s Hyundai Toad or whatever they call it just blew the turbo which lunched the engine at 50k miles. A new engine is more than the value of the car.

I’ll stick with my old V8.

I’m real happy with the Ecoboost 1.6. For the ST, the engine was manufactured in the UK with elevated QA due to it being a performance engine. The Ecoboost, despite the dumb name, has even held up well with hybrid turbos and “big” turbos. Yes, lessor economy-based engines can be subject to turbocharger failures in normal service.

I have a ‘96 Suzuki Sidekick that’s never had a failure other than the HVAC control lever (I fixed).

Wow, that’s incredible!. Amazing car. How many miles on it?

[steve86]

Well, it's incredible for a third-world Suzuki! lol Only 150,000 km. Getting it ready for mild cold weather and snow duty right now.
