Not to mention if you take a N/A gas engine of similar size, a TDI will always
produce greater and flatter torque curve while getting superior mileage.  In
fact you can purchase a Wetteraur(SP) chip that pumps a 1.9 TDI up to 189
ft/lbs of torque, that's more than a stock VR6!!, and a whopping 115
horsepower, but as we all know torque is what keeps you in your seat.. Oh and
you still can get up to 50 MPG on the highway...
