Like the old adage goes, "there is not replacement for displacement".

With a beefier engines comes a stronger engine with a bigger crank, 4-bolt mains etc. and that means it take take a lot more abuse.

Now add a forced induction system on top of that and you get one heck of a monster. Turbos are better with fuel economy than
a supercharger because there is no parasitic drain on the engine everthing else being equal.
Agreed, the only problems are they aren't as consistent throughout the band in terms of power and they can be harder on the engine than a supercharger. I just think that should be reserved for the aftermarket and larger displacement should be for the production model.
