Chevy 2.7 turbo 1500 truck.
Out of sheer curiosity I watched a video of the 2.7 turbo 4 cylinder Chevy 1500 truck being tested towing a trailer. I was surprised to hear them say that they thought it towed as god as the 6.2 lite...

What might scare me off initially is how complex that engine is.
They are all complex now. Most new technology is slowly added and no one notices.
Yep, with things such as high pressure direct injection, variable valve timing, variable injections, variable displacement(MDS), and a whole host of other tech, engines these days aren't as simple as one might thing. What I don't get is that as soon as you say turbo, most people start to talk about complexity even though a turbo is way more simple than the things mentioned above.
Another thing people should factor in is that the metal used today in the engine internals and blocks are not the same used decades ago. They can handle a lot more than what those engines could with the right design, and most of what applied to those engines does not to modern engines.
What's an awesome idea but, just looks like a bad breakdown is the variable valve lash. Turbos aren't scary. You're right, they are pretty simple.
