My "big ass" 2.2 liter 4 cylinder? lol

That'd be capable of around +/- 30mpg AND producing upwards of 500 ft/lb's/677 nm's@ around 2800rpm if I had the cash to go crazy with the turbo.

As a BMW (non-turbo) owner, I can say -without the shadow of a doubt- that the sweet spot for the 3.0L is 4200RPM, so if you were going to go crazy with a turbo Aram, match the turbo size to start to spool around 4 Grand.

So much fun... I am going to go for a drive tonight I think. [thumbup]
