The L series I've only fixed not tuned but its a good engine imo. I think you'll find it hard going trying to get vag power levels but its not because they're particularly good its just they're sold in usa so lots of off the shelf parts and people throwing $$$$s at them and sharing the info.
I know Dakta quite well from the MG/R forum, but again as always, not tuned for high power or not had it on a power run on a dyno.
The L series uses a VP pump too (earlier non-intercooled ones had VE) so I'll check the VW forum but as you say it's hard to even consider VAG power levels, the XUD is a much closer match.
Still got some good info from here though, I once questioned using the GT2052 on the Rover forum but it turned out the particular GT2052 most people think of had an awkward turbine housing (aimed the exhaust right at the block or the firewall, can't remember which) so was forgotten about, but I've now seen a few GT2052's with different housings as well as hearing good things about the 2056.
Loads of people tune VAG diesels, quite a few tune XUD's but hardly anyone has gone for high power on the L series so it really is unknown territory, a bit like the XUD was a few years ago I suppose.
