in other words, power by torque v power by high rpm...
what are the advantages/disadvantages of getting 200+ bhp, from a 2 litre engine, by increasing torque with turbos rather than increasing rpm range ?? or vice versa ??
1) one advantage, i think, of the high rpm engine is maybe the lower maximum torque throughout the rev range increases longetivity of the drivetain and maybe the engine it self.
but surely both have their ups and downs in terms of reliability, fuel consumption, longetivity, out right performance, weight, effieciency, cost, power potential.. etc
