400 hp out of a 2.0 diesel ?

Engine and gearbox will have virtually zero life expectancy.

The entire engine is wrong for what you're trying to do. The engine was designed for large amounts of torque, moderate amounts of HP - because that's where a diesel like that is fuel-efficient, which was the other big design criteria.

Put that amount of hp through it, and you'll destroy the clutch and DMF - and if you swap the DMF for a single flywheel, then you'll push all that power and torque through to the gerbox, and break that.
