Default prelude torque numbers

what kind of torque do h23s and h22s get at low rpms(1-3) ?

Ive looked around at dynos on the net and they seem to conflict. I always thought low end torque was awful at low rpms in an engine this size, but ive learned that in various vw/audi four cylinders they develop low end torque very well.
"A turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 hp at 5,500 rpm and 173 pounds-feet of torque at 1,950 rpm is the sole engine offered in the GTI."
How does honda compare to this? I was under the impression that honda built the best affordable four cylinder, so lets hear some pro honda remarks!

btw just to let you know, while walking away from my car i saw a probably 10 sq inch patch of bare metal a few inches above the wheel well- apparently the paint on my car cracked? I didnt think that happened, but its seperated from the metal. Im not sure what poor body work in the cars past could have caused this, but im checking into it.

Just adding another vw engine:
The GTI 1.8T comes with a 1.8 liter, 20-valve, turbocharged, in-line fo ur-cylinder engine that develops 150 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 155 pound-feet of torque within an rpm range of 1,750 to 4,200.
