Well I'm just guessing at the minute, but yesterday the engine light came on, Idle was very lumpy on tick over upto about 2k revs, sounds like its miss firing.

Take the turbo off the diesel and it will lose a shed load of torque, put the turbo on a petrol and gain torque.
But turbo them both and pound for pound the diesel will come out on top again, but bare in mind that the derv as double the psi of the petrol.
