I still feel you're looking at this from a skewed perspective. Not everyone is looking for "significant" increases just up top. Why disregard cruising RPM when that's where you are 90% of the time? It makes no practical sense to be so myopic. My proposal is focusing on "waking up" the car rather than inducing a Jekyll & Hyde behavior. IMO, most of the "big" turbo kits out there are ruining the experience of the car for typical legal street driving.

A stout 50 LbFt extra across the entire RPM band would be a stout kick in the pants no matter if you're stuck in traffic and just need to tip-in or if your blasting down a twisty stretch of fun road.
