Possibly true, but being that these are air-cooled engines, who really wants to add,plumb and set-up yet another system on the car for the sole purpose of cooling the turbo bearings? I know I don't.

I've had several MFI cars and they are very cool, when tuned & set-up right, it comes on like a heard of horses. Most however don't have the skillset, tools etc.. to keep them in tune, nor do some of the techs I've seen.

And although cool, MFI is clearly not as efficient as EFI overall
