same on the transverse engines. 11hp and 58 ft/lbs isn't THAT big of a change on a turbo car.

That's actually a pretty substantial boost for a factory engine. If it were aftermarket, sure, that's mild tuning. But for factory that's pretty substantial.
Also, seeing that much increase in torque with so little change in hp gives the impression of changes to the engine's stroke characteristics or to the turbine/impeller design on the turbo.

Default Yeah I guess you're right. 50+ ft/lb is a nice bump. Is it still a K03? What was the increase on..

1.8T when it went from 150 to 180 hp in torque? Audi gives decent increases.

HP/TQ numbers do not tell the whole story.
