How about torque? Do you get any more of that with DI and turbos or is it just the HP that goes up?

[scottykilmer]

@sangolt88 mainly horsepower, but a little torque,

thumbs up if 3:00 was a waste of gas

[scottykilmer]

@justjosh0123 the new ones are different, yours is old and yes, requires that.

[adsempermagnus]

hey scotty, can you tell me the pros and cons of a turbocharged engine, like does it make the engine less reliable?

[NorwegianCrows]

@scottykilmer Getting more horsepower doesn't always give more torque. I'm all for DI, but its more expensive and its cant be fixed as easily.

[sangolt88]

@scottykilmer Explain.

@whole27 not a big fan, watch my other video by typing "hybrid car problems" on the search engine of the scottykilmer channel on youtube.

@scottykilmer what are you thoughts on the Toyota Prius or the hybrid technology in general? Is it worth the price?

[scottykilmer]

@TJRMultimedia either a worn out radiator, or bad cooling fan.
