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.
If im right here, then there 300bhp from a TDI compared to 360 from the Evo X

not sure if the extra torque would count for much with 60bhp less but thats just my understanding.

i could be wring
