If GM managed to make a 2.5L with the power density of the LTG it'd have 340hp and like 370lb/ft of torque.
If they wanted to, they would have done it by now.

Good point. As I've already pointed out, the bosses for the turbo coolant and oil drain backs are already in the 2.5 block, just not machined. So they are using the same "mold" for the blocks, at least on the outside... Perhaps they had it in mind to do a 2.5 turbo at some point... Or perhaps, they just did it as a cost savings... Who knows...
