If you're coming from a regular 4 cylinder, you're right at home.
The car I'm coming from was 4cyl 2.0t and make 288 WTQ at 3700 (peak) and makes over 200WTQ from 2,100 on. So I'm used to a 4cyl turbo that had gobs of torque near idle.

I don't regret my slowmobile, sometimes it's more fun to work hard to go fast... err I mean less slow!
