My favorite part of the article:
Except for that, you know, there are a whole bunch of DI/Turbo engines out there, because direct injection and turbocharging go together like peanut butter and jelly and any first year engineering grad student can see that as plain as the nose on his face. Not to mention this little thing called a Diesel engine, many of which use turbocharging but are, by virtue of being diesels, directly injected. ZOMG!1111!!!Hyrbird!100110
Dumb Ass Article Wrote:Both turbocharging and direct injection are preëxisting technologies, and neither looks particularly impressive. Indeed, used separately, they would lead to only marginal improvements in the performance of an internal-­combustion engine.
