I have a very hard time trying to figure out why in the world they want to make 300hp by using so much boost + a low rpm.
That torque curve is like a copy of the BMW N55, except the N55 has a fancy valvetrain and 50% more displacement, and is thus likely to be producing power far more efficiently. By having so much specific torque so early, the pumping losses through the turbine must be insane. The Evo engine also hits 400Nm with 2L, but they're allowing it at a higher engine speed and not having to limit boost as much with the wastegate, if I understand correctly how boost is controlled.
