This is the general statement you made that has been disputed, not the feasibility of turbocharged chainsaws:
...and what context did I make that statement in? In a CHAINSAW forum in a thread named "CHAINSAW forced induction". Think maybe I was talking about turbos that would work on a CHAINSAW? Why in the world everyone keeps replying about cars is beyond me. EDIT: I went back and read my claim. Here is the very next sentence I wrote: "Adapting one to a chainsaw while keeping the weight down and keeping the engine/turbo from burning up would be a serious technical challenge".
Clearly I was NOT talking about a turbo for a frickin mack truck if I was talking about turbos you could adapt to a chainsaw. Since I have to absolutely spell it out, here it is: small turbos that would be lightweight enough and feed small enough CFM's for a chainsaw DO NOT have the cooling capability to not burn up rather quickly at WOT conditions. Car turbo arguments are a red herring brought up by OTHER people, not me.
