I don't have a clue what sized turbocharger my car has, that's why I paid for Mercedes-Benz to engineer and build one for me. I can tell you the 2.5 turbo uses a computer to manage the wastegate and the difference in low-throttle response is amazing compared to the earlier OM617. Turbo lag is almost imperceptible off the line and in day-to-day driving the car behaves as a normally aspirated car. Maybe you guys should be looking into computer controlled wastegates - I mean why should you be happy with a wastegate control system that is basically unchanged from WW2 era machinery?
