As far as tuners and diesels go they have no place in this thread. The OP has a gasoline engine, not a diesel. You want more power with a diesel you just throw more fuel and it to make big power. With a gasoline engine you need to pump more air to it to make big power.
The more air you put to a gasoline engine the worse your mileage is going to be because a gasoline engine has to remain in stoichiometry.
