just dyno'd a VEMS powered S6 for NEA today

torque is where it comes into play
Both how much and where it's made. Those smaller motors you listed all make their power and torque high up in the RPM range. The big displacement motors tend to make gobs of torque down low, where it is more usable for driving normally.

Dunno, never driven one
but turbo/superchargers make up for the lack of displacement. I guarantee that the car still won't make power like a big displacement V8. Even with the stock K24 the power doesn't come in until over 3k or so. I know a bigger turbo isn't going to bring that down.

Then again, turbo "technology" has brought us BallBearing units that promise @3k full boost on big
turbos...
I'm only bringing this up cuz, like others on the forum, we're always looking for that delicate balance, and plan to make an informed decision. Not many logged 3071's on the forum which is why it's good conversation...

I see, however I also see 2 dyno charts where one tuner purposely detuned the torque...
It just gave me the impression that with a standalone ecu one can perhaps flatten such torque bands out, in lieu of a high peak torque...(for daily driving of couse) then switch to the more aggresive tune when needed.
So the question is, Just how much control does one have with standalone in regards to those power curves?

unlimited control within the bounds of the hardware on the car :)
more torque earlier would be possible with race gas and more timing in the lower rpm band. This would show up as the boost building sooner.
