If the ND has direct injection as it should then turbo charging it shouldn't be too difficult. Direct injection will eliminate any detonation concerns.
Actually, a high compression ratio/direct injection engine will be good for a turbo because you won't need high boost (about 5 psi) to get decent power of it.

Turbo on the BP have been done and is so vanilla that even TSE have a kit. 
Since it's no challenge its more fun to try to get a decent N/A engine out of the BP. Heck, even Rotrex start to get some attention.
Making the SkyActiv 2.0 bend its rods with full control on an unopened engine is the challenge. Who will be first?
How different is the SkyActive to the MRZ fitmentvise?
Swapping one into a NC mule to learn something about tuning it?
MS4 would have no problem improving on the direct injection, right?

To continue the tradition, I took more shitty cell phone pics for you "people"
Please forgive the shitty quality, its a cell phone and the light in the big tent was terrible. For a couple of the rear end shots I had to creep behind the security guy and lean out, so its not level. This is the "roller" not the "driver" so it had what looked like black cardboard blacking out the backside of the rims, behind the cardboard calipers and rotors.
Does no one else have better pics? I can't have been the only one there snapping away at this thing.

What I like is there are three dials for HVAC controls, AS GOD INTENDED. You can adjust function, fan speed, and fan direction by hand and by touch without looking away from the road.
If I have a "serious" complaint about this car, I could whine about why couldn't they cover the front wheels with the front bumper for once. But whatever, it looks good, and in ten years the natrackdaybrah cars will all have flat airdam noses anyway. Which ... now that I look at it again with that in mind, does not look nearly as simple as for an NA/NB.
