Saw in Evo that a 1.3 turbo being considered as the default Caterham engine.

Doesn't seem quite right to me; what do people think?

We did this with the 1.0 Ecoboost turbo for Ford way back in 2012 - it worked pretty well and was a fun project.

I think a small engine with a turbo will work quite well.

The Sigma and Duratec aren't exactly screamers. They've got plenty of torque and a suspect the new engine won't feel too different.

I don’t think Caterham have much choice unfortunately, no NA engines available.
