Are the numbers quoted for the 1.9l engine for a 1.9l D or a 1.9l TD
     running without its turbo?

     Please forgive my ignorance, but I have heard that engines designed to
     run with a turbo become  gutless when the turbo fails or is removed.
     Supposedly a turbo-less turbo-motor is less powerful than an otherwise
     identical non-turbo-motor.
     Apparently it has something to do with lowered compression ratios
     (17:1 vs 22:1, and 7:1 vs 9:1 for gas), combined with lowered air and
     fuel into the cylinder, less than optimum ignition and valve timing
     etc.

     Is this true? Thank you.
