To match the Audi's output per litre, your Cummins would have to make 948 lb ft and 1072 HP.
That said, the Audi is designed to go fast, not to tow.
Exactly, apples to oranges. The Audi is an engine with a 3.65 inch stroke made for high revving horsepower while the 6.7L Cummins with a 4.88 inch stroke is made for high low end torque. The turbo efficiency maps are for different applications too.
Although, there have been many on the aftermarket side that have made well over 1,000 hp at the wheels(over 1,100 hp at the crank) with their 6.7L and it is generally followed with around 1,800 lb-ft.
Heck, my truck with just a tune on all stock parts can get up to 515 hp and 1,200 lb-ft at the wheels.
