The tables below compare given speeds at indicated rpms/horsepower/torque with different engine/gearing/tire combinations. It is fairly obvious that the TDI provides more hp at nearly any given speed even with "taller" 3rd & 4th gears and taller tires! With the "chipped" TDI it is even more so!
Even better, I expect my fuel consumption to go up from 15-18 mpg at present to 28-31 mpg after the transplant!

At 5mph I will have approx. 70hp available to me with the stock TDI vs. approx. 40hp with the Wasserboxer. The "chipped" TDI will have approx. 90hp at 5mph -- more than double!
At 60mph I will have approx. 83hp available to me with the stock TDI vs. approx. 71hp with the Wasserboxer. The "chipped" TDI will have approx. 107hp at 60mph!
