Torque is irrelevant without rpm.
The N52 3l detuned to 245HP that would have been instead of the N20 for the states, produces the same power, but the turbos are probably a little underrated so there is some advantage there.
My main point is that it is not nearly as fast as it
feels compared to an NA, because the turbo coming on suddenly is felt as a kick in the pants but it doesn't last. Also, there is turbo lag.
