The turbo's feel stronger because of the torque "under the curve" and that they make torque at a lower rpm than a naturally aspirated motor (unless it's a biig stroker type motor, which can make some Great torque down low).
I'd really like to drive a new 2011 TT 4.4 and compare it to our 4.8i. It might be a Huge mistake though because it would probably end up costing us more money (want to buy it

)!
Those V10 Diesel Touareg's are Monsters! I just googled them and they are impressive! I didn't know about them when we bought our X5 and if I did, I might be on the Vee Dub forum now! In reality, I'm glad that we bought our X5 and have no regrets, other than the fact that there aren't many mods for them and the ones that are out there aren't cheap!
