That being said, I dont see anything wrong with the N55, heck, its even minus 1 cat in the DPs, so it might be a bit faster due to less back pressure...maybe

Thats another thing. They give you peak TQ damn near off idle and claim thats the best thing since sliced bread and then dont do anything to let the car breathe better at higher revs! Every dyno I see(even chipped with exhaust) has the engine falling flat close to 5K rpm! Yeah that flat TQ curve is great but for an engine that wants to run with the big dogs it needs to make power all the way up to redline. Im guess those small turbos are the cause. They spool up real fast with very little lag for the TQ at 1200 but run out of breathing higher up. Wish we could have both.
