I think the big reason for turbos not showing up often on larger engines is
simply packaging. A turbo requires some crazy exhaust routing and when
you're already using available space for more engine there's less room for
other do-dads. A turbo Dak would be an interesting break from the norm.
Twin turbos maybe? Twin turbos on a AWD Durango maybe? Whoop on a Carrera
4 and then haul yer boat to the lake! 8^)
How fast ya want to go is directly related to how much you want to spend.
So, how fast to you want to spend? 8^)
