Bently Arnage on BAT with 4.4 Twin Turbo

For any of you Car surgeons, there is a 99 Bently Arnage with a factory 4.4 BMW engine and a twin turbo connected to a 5HP30. Last bid I saw was at $7K.

There must be something really choking that motor. By installing twin turbos and only adding ~60HP to the N/A factory rating does not display a well engineered design in my book. Thoughts?

There must not be much boost. Maybe they were playing it safe. That's a pretty heavy car to try to make into a sports car. But, put that motor in the right hands and right car and I bet someone could turn it into a fire breather.

Look at the torque... 420lb/ft of it. It was meant to have gobs of torque down low for ultimate smoothness, as opposed to peaky horsepower.
