Make no mistake - the 3.0T's torque is capped, too. Curve is obviously artificial.

Do you think it's capped for the MT or DSG?

So if you want to mod later to remove the torque cap, buy the 6MT!

Default DSG7should be able to handle 550Nm
according to various announcements
Maybe the blower cannot give more with a stock pulley setup ?

Default draw back of turbos
After a set certain # of miles, the Turbo will have to be replaced. Not for the NA V8, there are not need for that.

Default That looks pretty good to me
Displacement is fun, but I think people are going to get used to the V6T very quickly.
