1. N54 is probably more expensive than the N55. Most people think the change over was for no other reason than cost.

2. N20 is 4 cylinder. Germans are drawn to over-engineering, but I would think putting two turbos on a 2.0L four pot is too much even for them.

3. HPFP issue should have nothing to do with the number of turbos.
