This could be a great engine as long as it doesn't have the almost perminant low pressure fuel leaks and cat blocking abilities (when they aren't driven hard)of the current CDI engines. I wonder if the turbo lag has been reduced much.
I really don't understand why they have to use the crappy clic conectors and plastic fuel lines when they've never sealed properly. I would have thought that they would retrofit rubber hoses and hose clamps by now.
Looks like a great engine though.
I want to see a V8 version of this engine...........imagine the torque!
I couldn't see the turbo/s in any of the pics and I haven't managed to get any additional info from benz. Reakon it's a single turbo or bi turbo?
