I primarily made that point because another poster said that a b16 would be faster than a stock block turbo-d. Yes turbo definitely has a feel of its own, a properly sized turbo on a d has given me a power band in the mountains that i have enjoyed for quite a while. I respect and enjoy all motor as well, but price vs price you can get that similar power (low 200s whp) a lot easier on a turbo-d.
