Now that Vauxhall and Fiat have got into bed with PSA, the engines in the title are all thats really availble in normal petrol cars, so which ones WORST and which would you spend your 10 grand on with a secondhand version?

Well. for those of you who have stalked my posts, you will know ive pulled the trigger on a tce Clio ( nice car just wish id brought a better example) Anyway wondered if anyone knew why these small turbo petrol engines are limited to rev to the same amount as a turbo diesel (6k) as normal petrols go much higher?

The turbos are pretty dinky so they spool up at low rpm. By the time you're up over 5k they aren't really achieving anything so no point raising the rev limiter much beyond

Cheers for the helpful post! interesting how they work, they do have some pretty epic lag as well.
