I gotcha. That may have to do with the test mule they're using. The 2.0T is mostly about high end power, so there are trade-offs in terms of the compressor's efficiency map. Having something that can help spool up the turbo quicker may help the engine operate (marginally) more efficiently, or maybe they're just BS'ing, since I didn't see anything about the test methodology.
