Given its the same engine as the M235i we expect to hit the same 445 HP/455 TRQ or more (bigger, more effective intercooler being made for the M2 then the normal N55 applications) with the M2 and the big turbo as the Dinan S3 M235i.
What does the big turbo do to the torque curve on the M235i? Is it much peakier? Or do you still get lots of torque down low in the rpm band and a flat-ish curve, with everything just shifted up the Y-axis?
