I think he is mainly talking about the lack of low end torque. When i had my 1.8t it felt like geo metro until the turbo kicked in.
. The 3.0 is a much bigger engine and should not have as much of an issue. If anything Audi put too small a turbo on their 1.8t. It runs out of steam at 4500rpm.With the N54, you get max torque at as low as 1400rpm. Where else could you get that besides a turbo engine?

And why not!. BMW's had turbos in the past and in F1, their turbos were wicked. I would love to see them go down the turbo route. BMW already make brilliant NA engines, its about time they show the rest how its done for turbo ones.
