The torque curve on the EB probably will not be as flat as you would think for a turbo car... Most likely the stock calibration will have the boost come on very gradual, almost linearly... almost like a centrifugal.. That's what i've seen in the 3.5 and 2.0 EBs... and once you tune it so the boost comes on more aggressively, you'll probably find out they are using a very cute little turbo that will run out of steam in the upper RPMs...
Still going to be very interesting!
