IMHO it is the impulsive nature of the torque at idle/low speed from the 4BD1 that cause the transmission problems.

Although the chipped TD5's can produce 500Nm, it is at much higher speed and delivered more smoothly.

I also believe a 4BD1-T could be coaxed to deliver far in excess of 500Nm.

The work hasn't yet begun, but the parts have been collected and design is well underway.
