Nice torque curve on the 2.5L!  Gotta like MS Excel eh!?

What's the horsepower curves on those motors as compared to the TDI and WBX?

Just to put it in perspective, I took the AHU torque from David's chart,
converted Nm to Lb Ft  (boy those metric numbers look big, don't they),
and plotted it every 500 RPM on top of the subaru 2.2L and 2.5L torque.
