that is assuming it is possible to make a car that can adequately cool the engine. For these little turbo engines it is possible, but the biggest of the turbo engines can require well above 4000kW of cooling, which is more than any of the cars can provide. I think the best I have managed is a hair over 2000kW without making the car look ridiculous (although I did cheat and covered up one of the vents with a front splitter)

I'll suggest that you take a look around the forum and/or give a try to some tutorial scenarios in the game.
You will see how to improve everything
ED: The engine that you made in this post is OK (many man hours but ok).

you can overlap several grills to make a test bed car
