I'm interested in picking up a nakiri and am looking at two similar knives— same maker, finish, steel etc. One is 'normal' nakiri dimensions at 165x57 and the other at 180x77. There's a ~90g weight difference.

Tall nakiri owners, do you like or dislike the additional height and weight? My other knives are a 240 gyuto and a 210 Western chef.

How much of the character and drivability of classic turbo engines is dictated by the turbo and management vs the engine itself? Consider something like the 930's 3.0 turbo or others from the era that were known to be both laggy and peaky compared to today's cars where the boost is designed to be linear.

If you were to take a 70s-80s 3.0T motor and fit a modern turbo and Haltech/Bosch/similar EMS with appropriate tuning, would it perform more like a modern 991.2 3.0T, or a RUF CTR, or would its original character largely remain?
