OK no need for sarcasm, it's a road best not traveled. Everything evolves, I agree. Why did DI problems rear their ugly head a few years down the road after it's implementation after the big push away from EFI? It had to Evolve, some added a second injector to help with the problems. The engine in question is a new engine, with 1 injector per cylinder.2.0 DI turbo engines saw day of light first time in VW in 2003. World doesn’t revolve around US.
Small turbo engines are present in Europe since beginning of 80’s, and that is just gasoline. Diesel turbo engines were staple of the market between 1991 and 2016.
Engines constantly evolve. Metalurgy evolves without you ever paying attention unless it is marketing pitch, that might be totally irrelevant or might be huge improvement.
The reason why this topic pops out every month here is that many members still don’t know that Bill Clinton won 1992 elections and United 232 is still fresh news.
Change is the only thing that is constant.
DI took years to work the problems out, and it still has problems for some. Just because the technology has been around doesn't mean it is perfected across all auto manufacturers. If that were the case then all then there would be no difference in engine quality from one car maker to the next. Me I'd prefer to watch others work out the bugs.
