the matter of fact is if you just want to SLAP! on a turbo the Duratec engine isnt the best to do it with and you wont extract much from it!

I believe the Question was what is stopping people putting a small turbo on it....Not rebuilding the engine to handle insane amounts of boost. so your answer is irrelevant!

You don't just 'slap,' a turbocharger onto a naturally aspirated and think "there you go!" Pistons, camshaft etc are required if you're going to do that, even for a low pressure application.

Your answer is the irrelevant one because its the incorrect one. You're talking about doing something the wrong way, and then saying it won't acheive much. Well obviously not... :
