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.

Ah, I see. However you say the 2.5 is 'too heavy' do you mean physically in weight on in some other way?
My thoughts were a highly tuned 1.9 may blow or melt or implode, but since the 2.5 was bigger, thicker/heavier block etc that it would be able to take any extra punishment from bigger turbo's etc?
