Problem is people clamoring for turbo don't seem to see the limitations of a turbo. Turbos make useful boost in a much narrower range than the engine itself, and the response is extremely far from intuitive and predictable near the full load mark (but some people don't care about that). Right now the low end torque on this engine is really really bad, and increasing the top end will likely make it even worse. A turbo that boosts the bottom end won't be increasing peak hp much, and you lose bragging-rights-to-money-ratio and kick-in-the-pants-above-25mph-to-money-ratio, unless they come up with a variable geometry turbo which doesn't seem likely.

A properly sized twin scroll turbo would fix many of those issues.
