I was reading about the new (I think 2003.5) mazdaspeed protege. It has a Garrett turbocharger. I was intrigued. I read more on mazda's website
Can anyone tell me why this 2.0 L turbocharged intercooled engine can only make 170 hp? (this is a non sarcastic question from someone still somewhat new to engine and car specs.) It seems to me that Mazda could have done a little better. If they want to put "speed" in the actual name of the car, couldn't they have made the engine a little more powerful? I am not trying to be a snob, just learning.
