A 1.9 TDI like in my car, has a stock peak power output of more or less 100 hp at the wheels. Slap on a bigger turbo, bigger holes, bigger pump, intake, IC, exhaust and a tune and you get a 200 hp/350 ft lb daily driver still capable of getting 50 mpg on the highway. But you know if you have such a car you will not be hitting 50 mpg tanks. It would kind of defeat the purpose you've spent so much money on.
