It does not have to be a torque steering bastard though.
I have a 2.0 8V (twinky) turbo technics pulling just over 200bhp and 225ft Ilb, it is not big power however it is nice easy driving with a bit of tug when you need it, it runs standard compression and hits 10psi (which is full boost) at 2100rpm and then pulls upto 6600 smoothly, no big kick in the arse just a nice pull all the way up.
If not go for the played with NA.
Upto you whatever you choose enjoy
