The mono turbo has 1/2 of the 330d turbo and the other half was developed by Garrett especially for the this application

I'm a member of the Alpina register they are great cars, essentially the same engine as the 123d but different pistons and map. Has 332lbft of torque compared to the 295 of the 123d.
