Power isn't really relevant for this, its torque that matters here, and your torque hasn't hit max until about 3k iirc...in the Corsa it'll hit max torque well before 2k so will obviously pull away while you're still waiting for boost! VNTs make diesels so much more driveable. Plus, how much more torque on a S1 HDi? Probably not much in it...
that's why I said new engine tech, it might have the same amount of torque as the HDI stage 1, also gearbox ratio plays a good part too.
