The 2.5 diesel lump is a bit to heavy.
The 1.8T is a fantastic engine and will tune up to a higher bhp than the TDI's + there are lots of excellent mods available.
I think a highly tuned 1.9TDI will definately have the edge when it comes to torque.
There are people out there with 300bhp 1.9TDI's, but running more than 500 - 600nm torque is more than enough for the drivetrain.
