Ok, so noted.  For KISS, I used the terms interchangeably (since on full
throttle, all audi turbos have a pretty flat torque curve), however, using
"Torque" only makes maximum Trg happen at an earlier rpm.  A 220 HP 20vt has
220lb/ft of torque available from 1950> regardless of rpm.  Dave E.'s RS2 has
over 290lb/ft available from 2500>.  So, technically, I suppose you have a
valid point, Orin.  For the purposes of this discussion, we could use the
terms interchangeably.  Thanks for the correction.  I suppose I should own up
now, and say also for KISS, I assume T1 + T2 = Trg, when in fact there are
friction losses.  Again for the purposes of this discussion, not really
relevent.  And I DON'T want to do that math, thank you :)
