I was doing a little research and cam across this little blurb. I am
sure some of you have read this already, but I thought it was interesting.
Quoted from www.allpar.com
/"One interesting tidbit is that the 2.2 was never designed for a turbo,
according to Chrysler engineer Pete Hagenbuch; but its durability must
have made engineers happy when they chose to force the air in."/
/"No, the 2.2 was not designed for a turbo. Turbos are for racing. Too
much heat for normal driving. We should have gone with that Eaton
Rootes-type supercharger. I begged for a test cell and six months to
produce something that would counter the high friction and make decent
economy. Nope, they were fixated on the turbo. After all, it was good
enough for Formula 1."/
