It just dawned on me that with Mrs. Number 3's new Cruze LTZ in the garage, I now have two 4 cylinder turbos in the stable. Both are great fun to drive but I'm not sure I could have imagined the day when a 1.4 L (nearly 1/4 of an LS3) Turbo was the commuting mobile and the FUN car is a 2.0 L SIDI Turbo making 290 HP with a little help from GMPP.

So is this a sign of the apocalypse ...................... a sign of the times ...................or our automotive future?
