I understand the efficiencies of the FI route--and we have seen you can get great performance that way...it is just different......
I wouldn't be worried about turbo lag... the twin scroll turbo has already brought the responsiveness up and peak torque onset down by 300 rpm... I'm guessing the numbers on this engine will be as impressive if not more impressive. The N/A v. FI arguement is starting to sound like the MT v. AT/DCT arguement. Some people just don't want to bother with improved, better technology. Like my grandmother who never learned how to use a computer... lol!
