Since power is merely a function of torque and revs, torque is a pretty crucial aspect of performance, and clever deployment of turbos can gain a wide-ranging boost in torque
Finally, I don't really understand how you would go about identifying an "equivalent" diesel engine...
I don't mean to get argumentative, but I just think it's always worthwhile considering all of the available options - none of us really want to miss out on something cool for the sake of a little blue and white badge do we?

The reason i think its isnt the best topic / comprison, is because the two cars (rs5 & e92) are in two different classes, FI and NA.
why not compare other super cars that are bi-turboed?
If the rs5 is going to get 450 hp from 4.2 twin turbo, i think its a let down. Bigger engine, twin turbos and 30 odd hp more. Audi must be really pleased.
