This. But seriously, the N54 as stout as it is/was was never categorized as an exciting engine. In fact the broad torque curve and lack of top end (above 5500) was what drew the most criticism. This (along with the added complexity and lack of HPFP reliability) is what lead to the development of the single turbo setup in the N55.
