I guess I don't see many NA diesels these days. Every bus and truck I've seen has a turbo.

But then again, we're talking about personal transportation here.. and not everyone needs an F350 diesel pickup to go a few km down the street to the grocery store. But that's a whole other argument


I drive a Duramax 2500 Silverado for work everyday and yes, it's WAY over kill for the average driver, but there is no replacing it's power for the type of work I do (commercial construction). Maybe it's just the circles I run into, but nearly everyone else who has a big truck like I do needs one for work of some sort even if you can't tell by looking at it (snow removal, etc).

But anyway, it is a turbo as are the huge Internations we use to move our equipment from job to job. Even our bulldozers, lifts, front end loaders, backhoes, etc all have turbos. Is that just the way all turbos are made now or is there some application I'm not exposed to?
