The 16v and turbo are just two completely different in nature... The turbo has a nice (flatter) torque curve, and the easy ability to add more power... while the 16v has this high-rpm peaky nautre which is right in it's home at 4000-6000 RPM... (and the AW72L keeps it there)... the 16v maintenance schedule seems to be kept by a 21 Jewel Swiss watch though... you better do it, or else you'll pay for it in the end... However, similar things can happen with the turbo (especially with a turbo failure)... neither is really "better" just different... I like my 16v, despite it's issues...

on the other hand, the 16V turbo is quite the monster
