My Corvair Corsa was delivered with turbo already in 1966. In cars they are a good option and almost all manufacturers have used them today.

In boats however, they are a bit scary. A friend had two high performance V8 alu engines fitted with turbos and besides all other problems they finally caught fire. I doubt the insurance companies would like to see a glowing turbo in the engine room of a boat running on petrol...
