Nope, they'll be about the same.
Firstly, a straight remap will get 211hp out of the current 2.0TDI CRs (as well as the preceeding PDs).
Secondly, Celtic Tuning have uprated one engine (and if I understand right, it's the 1.9TDI PD unit) to 300hp.
Further, if that Evo X FQ360 is similar to the IX-MR400 then it has very heavily upgraded internals and a larger-than-normal turbo-supercharger with titanium fittings.
The key is though, that the diesel has more torque than the petrol - which is mainly what HDi is referring to with his "thrust" comment.
