Nope

The N52 may provide better low-end torque due to the higher compression ratio but the N51 probably comes on better at high rpm due to 3 stage intake manifold. Agreed?

No. replacing a manifold is a lot easier/cheaper than replacing the pistons. (compression = the engine's potential for power)
