I suppose you are talking about the "old" TT (3-535)i engine? Old news :thumbsdown:

The new F10 535i(and d) engines has only one turbo, but the 550i 4.4l V8 has two,
as the X5M/X6M and coming up M F12/13.

So I guess the problem is solved.

i have to say it's impressive. 30+mpg with a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds......sounds like a winner.

New tech choice seems to be the two stage single turbo in most of the new L4 and L6 gas engines, diesels seem to need two.

The V8's has two turbos, for both L4 sides as the V12 for both L6 sides.
