That's total turkey... you're comparing a highly modified engine to a
*stock* TDI engine.  How long will a 1 bar gasoline turbo engine
last?  Quoting their site: "The first trip to the dyno with the
turbo kit prototype"  sounds like a mature solution that has
been around for millions of kilometers.  :-)

The R-TDI
that I have beats that turboed zetech in both power and torque as well as
many other hot-rodded Diesels on this list as well, but these engines
arn't a typical TDI nor is that engine a typical Ford Focus engine either
so there is no need of mentioning either one of them is there?

Repeat after me:

- Safety in numbers (if it breaks, have
something everyone else has so you can get parts)
- The farther I go
from stock, the more I am my own warranty
