I just want to point out that with BMW detuning the car so that there is now noticeable lag - BMW should rethink the N54 and the 135 altogether - their our other options out there and why weren't they explored? Was it a cost saving exercise to have 1 engines into 2 cars? Maybe BMW should re think the parts they're having problems with - detuning a car just sucks!
"detuning" by my definition mean losing hp/tq. The lag issue isn't hp/tq related.

It's a wastegate spooling issue. The hesitation issue while spooling.
