Domestic manufacturers did a really bad job rolling out turbos. Oldsmobile tried it in like 1962 with the Jetfire. Was a pretty sophisticated setup, an adaptation of aircraft technology from the previous decade, on brand for the makers of the "Rocket". Unfortunately ethanol injection was too much for US consumers to keep up with and meltdowns of the aluminum blocks was common. Most of the fleet had the turbos removed.
