Yes, but the rules for turbo diesels are clean sheet, without any previous data to back them up, whilst gasoline engine data is extensive and current. No one had ever built a diesel to the rules before, and no one has ever used the Shell synthetic fuel prior to Audi. To suggest that ACO nailed the power curves first try is to test credulity.
