uhh, are you kidding? you want a 2.0L with TWO TURBOS??? one properly sized turbo will outperform two turbos in every respect.

you need to recalibrate your opinion on turbos. it's incorrect. you've probably been spending too much time looking at supra 1000whp dyno graphs, and not reasonable cars with turbos. my MR2 makes 240whp and 250wtq, with a VERY broad, flat torque curve. more responsive than almost any other car i've driven.

agreed. a properly set up turbo car is just as responsive as any other setup. and i've said this before, but "any driver who complains about lag is either in the wrong gear or the wrong car."
