The TDI probably has more hp, but maybe less torque. European automotive diesels produce more hp per cubic inch than american gassers.

Yeah but aren't those 5 speeds hard to find? The Jeep does have a 4cyl with 5 speed now and has done quite nicely with it. It is a lot of fun to drive and one of the few vehicles where I can double clutch a downshift while holding the brake and goosing the throttle with the left foot without letting up on the brake. Lots of fun and that would mean that I wouldn't have to give that up.

The 2.5 turbo would probably be a little less power then the 606 3.5 turbo but probably more power then the 2.5 gas that's in there now.

The VW TDi probably doesn't have enough power to replace the gas 4 cyl.

If I were you, I'd look for an OM602 2.5l and a 5 speed to go with it.
