Reliable Horsepower

I know you guys like the 2.0 turbo because its lightweight and good for easy extra HP. But I would much rather have reliable HP with no concern about a turbo burning out. I've owned 2 DI turbos made recently - own one now. They are certainly more reliable then in the past, but still are less reliable then NA. Give me the bigger engine anyday, even if its more thirsty. Past experience says they will go with forced induction because its cheaper for them and requires little more then beefed up brakes if anything. They don't care about reliability if you don't and it saves them money. Again, let those that want a turbo put one on themselves.
