Usually emissions. Just like a high-displacement car, you're burning more fuel and air, which mean more pollution and lower gas mileage (actually turbos are better for mileage than displacement since you're usually off-boost when cruising).
Pretty much *every* disel motor sold these days is turbo... so the technology is definately being used, just not so much in gasoline motors.
