i have 350 at 2000, but the delivery is not as smooth as the BMW straight 6, less enjoyable,
turbos need open roads, the roads in hk are not suitable for turbo, too many stops and ups and downs and braking,
against a na car of the same power, it always loses, but on straights it wins, but then fr has too many wheelspins

I think I have seen a news saying BMW has file a patent on lag-free turbo engine design, which could be awesome.

The worst part for turbo cars in HK during summer is you don't get enough speed and distance to cool down those tiny inter coolers.
