Yes, both turbo, but delivery is hugely different, which is important. Torque beneath the curve is what makes that F80 so good. A 600hp 2.0L that has to be revved up to 4K to start making power because you put a GT40R on there is not the same thing.
4k boost threshold? that's what rolling antilag is for
