I have limited experience with dyno's (I've only done my car three times) but that is a good chart. Turbo engines (small displacement ones anyway) seem to deliver peak torque sooner and for longer then a N/A or a SC engine which build to a peak. So this is pretty typical.

What's really good about this chart is that peak torque, most likely more the Mini claims apparently, is delivered in full from ~1900 RMP through ~5200 RPM. My experience with my GTI is that it's torque was delivered in more of a curve, which is less exciting. Yes, there is a little wavering, but it's not that signifigant. Large waves would indicate a bad air / fuel ratio.

It would be interesting to see the A/F. I wonder how rich the R56 runs?
