my 1.9 tdi turns over at 2000 - 2050 rpm at 60 mph
The motor loves low rpm, its max torque is at reached at a low 1900 rpm's.
If a person wanted more power and less economy from their tdi they could put bigger injectors and a one size larger turbo for about a extra 100 hp and 100+ftlbs of torque. for a total of about 220+ hp and 275+ ft-lb of torque. My older 98 tdi which gets better mileage than the newer tdi's is rated at a lower output of 90 hp and 150 ft-lb torque stock.
My best so far is 75 imperial mpg @ 55on the hwy Port Alberni to Victoria & back.
The motors also come stock in 110 hp 130 hp 150 hp with a respective increase in their torques.
