It's not cheap, especially the modern turbo's.
What might be worse is when these breaks down, and you drive with it, the Hole engine can be destroyed!

So surely the NA 6 is more durable in the long run, but with these bullshit clima regulations, turbo's and downsizing is a must, sadly!
That's what I thought as well. Although the F20 is more efficient, the NA 6 cyl is definitely more durable compared to a FI motor in the long run. I know someone who had to replace his turbo on his EVO IX. Very expensive to replace.

Thanks for the input!
