Audi are racing diesels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_R10 - 40psi turbos and injectors running to 23000psi -WOW
And these guys mod diesels http://www.piersdiesel.com/DodgeProducts.htm

Re: Intercooler fitted to my old diesel Toyota
Until recently you couldn't do much to get a lot more power out of a diesel because most diesels used a mechanical injection pump. An increase in air alone will get you a minor boost in power. If you want to take maximum advantage of increased air flow you must change the amount of fuel injected by the injector pump in some way. Most injector pumps have a few adjustments that can be played with, however thats only good up to a point. Beyond that the injector pump must be modified or replaced which is expensive. The amount of components that had to be changed tended to price an upgrade much higher than most people were willing to shell out of their pockets in one lump. This essentially killed the after market. An intercooler and a high flow exhaust for a turbo charged diesel is about the extent of cost effective upgrades for a diesel with a mechanical injection pump.
On my Mercedes 300SD(which has a mechanical injection pump) I have put a cherry bomb muffler on it and put a slightly more efficient compressor wheel on the turbo. This has added maybe 2 to 4hp. I plan to intercool it which will add another 5hp without any fuel adjustments to the injector pump. After adjusting the injector pump I can expect another 20 to 30 hp. People have modified the injector pumps by machining them out and putting bigger fuel plungers in them. Doing this with many other modifications to the intake and exhaust has allowed them to get 400+ hp out of the stock 125hp engine.
Modern diesels use MAF sensors and computer controlled common rail injection. This means that a hotter cam or a better intake will yield a bigger gain than they would with a mechanical injector pump. There is an after market for modern diesels.
