There’s no turbo lag if your stellantis vehicle keeps breaking down. taps side of forehead

Everybody knows you can get V8 power out of a six cylinder. But the folks who buy fast Dodges don’t buy them for speed; they buy them for sound and the fact that it’s a V8.
And I don’t trust Chrysler or Fiat turbos as far as I can throw them, especially if they have a fancy setup.
ETA: I looked it up and it sounds… like a turbo six cylinder. Like something some insane BMW tuner would build with a semi truck turbo.
Also, they have a 48V blower pumping into the turbo to maintain boost. Basically an electric supercharger in front of a turbo.
Lets them run big turbos tho

I’ve got a turbo four cylinder in a small car. I like it much more than a Hellcat.
