Personally I think I would prefer a low boost supercharger.


Peter, I have recently taken delivery of a Ford Kuga with that very same turbocharged 1.6 182PS Ecoboost engine, even though it's still tight (700 miles) it's streets better than my old 1.6 VVTi in the car I traded in. Already it seems to want to rev and its low down torque is very good. I have it nailed to an Auto box because of leg problems but even so it's impresive. In a Morgan I think it would be VERY interesting, bring it on!
