An intercooler will have no effect on torque, just top-end power.
Yeah Hoo.. the difference is night and day.. that may be more than I am looking for..

It kinda sounds like this MAY be worth still considering.. and I have no interest in top end power... and if a VNT can help the low end.. there may be life in this project yet.

How much Torque might a moderatly tweeked pump and VNT produce at the flywheel?

Is the power band more a result of the ability of the turbo to provide air, than it is a queston of bore X stroke , and injection pump limitations?
