The current N55 already makes 330 ft lbs at a very low 1300rpm and does it with no parasitic loss or heat soak and will do so with better fuel economy. The twins M versions make considerably more hp, tq at very low revs also. There’s really no benefit of a roots over well designed turbo systems especially for street driven cars at least in my opinion.
