Is it gargantuan? No. And I probably need to see the ecoboost pulling 9k+ up a 7% grade for miles at 64mph doing 1800 rpm with my own eyes. I've not seen it in any other test.
Then you also have never driven a gas turbo?
We had a PT Cruiser Rag Top with a 2.4 Turbo, and we suprised a lot of muscle cars off the line! Turbo gas acts a lot like a turbo diesel, just pays for it in fuel economy.
