Can anyone explain how they are getting these tiny engines to act at least somewhat like much larger displacement engines? I dont think the GTI is turbo'd but either way..how do they do it? That was half the reason for larger displacement engines like the 5.0 right?

Now I know the new BMW 335 is turbo'd but how do they get 300 pd feet of TQ under 2k all the way to 5k. anyone?

The Volvo S60R makes 300+ ft-lbs out of a 2.5L 5-banger. This dyno of a stocker shows 310 ft-lbs to the wheels at 3000RPM!!

its called a tiny turbo that spools early. forced induction other then centrifiguals are known for creating good torque numbers, specially turbos.

Yes, small turbos with lowish boost. Thank god for them bringing us so many customers for repair

P.S. about 13-14 years ago before all the cool front drive technology came out we were running 11.02 quarters with our very streetable old school 2.0 liter on a crap suspension.
