You also have to remember it starts with spikes of 15 tapering to 10. (depending on ambient temps).

Likely the biggest issue with the N54, is the stubborn ECU nannies stopping it form being tuned, and the fueling system is not as easily upgradeable.

Then again a 2.0 audi is still slow at 20 PSI IMO (not all boost is created = )
