And I don't just apply that to turbo engines, I apply that to ALL engines. That's not naysaying, that's just being a cautious consumer. It has the potential to be a great engine and I've said that before. My last 2 trucks have turbos on them and I have nothing against the concept on a gas 6 cylinder truck.

I wasn't really referring to you, but i do think that alot of the first year caution is a bit of an old tale and alot more overblown that what is really to be worried about.
Especially when the same setup (for the most part) was in previous year models without any issues.
With they way these things are designed using computers and the amount of virtual testing that can go on now a days exponentially speeds up the r&d of these new systems and gets them much much closer to perfect before actual real world testing begins.
I'm not saying that issues won't happen but if they do they you know there will be a huge recall and black eye for that company and the brand has more to lose than you do.
