I am glad you posted this, just goes to show how sad it is that inexpensive NA diesels aren't sold in the US.

Reality is NA is just as efficient and only 20% more for the motor than a gasser. (As compared to exponentially more for turbo)

Hope this shuts up the turbo folks.

Diesels don't have to be 600 hp monsters, I guess that is why I own a 6.2
