I personally do not want a lot of low end torque on a fwd car, thats why i chose to build a 1.6 and not a 1.8 or 2.0. Thats also why i chose such a large turbo, i could have chose a GT28RS which would spool at 2000rpm and make more torque earlier than a K and still make 350whp but as i mentioned i do not want low end torque on a fwd car. Do not think it is not possible to achieve low end torque and nearly ZERO turbo lag on B series and still make big power, it is very possible.
I'm with you on the over powered FWD car. For me personally I like the bottom end of the K-series on the street, the broad n wide powerband and responsiveness. Kinda like the V8s.
I don't think its impossible to achieve nearly zero turbo lag, most factory boosted cars these days have none. But they all have bigger engine capacity to help turbo spool. I remember driving the twin turbo BMW 335ci. Maximum torque of 400nM @ 1300rpm - 5000rpm. Simply blew me away the way it took off. Amazing engineering! The turbos were tiny!
