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 tp 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.
I think its more than that. Even with a Dinan tune the torque drops off. Dinan cites the reason as keeping high boost off the car at those levels of RPM helps maintain engine longevity.

But Id be willing to bet that its an excuse because of the small turbos.
