Here is another interesting link, for the techies out there.

This is all on the same car. You can see the difference between a max torque tune and a max power tune. Essentially, you can let the turbo run free in the midrange, but the heat collects and limits the numbers up top. This is the difference between an "all torque" tune and a medium blend of torque and hp (the final tune). The point being, you can make power where you want, but there is always a compromise. Thats why I always think its interesting when folks have an already made up whp number in their minds.

Here it is: the 'm17' is the all torque run. The other one is the final tune.
