If you're talking about US units (HP and lb-ft), then the numerical values are similar in the value

for example, a MK6 gti has ~200hp and ~200 lb-ft of torque
The Mk7 gti got more torque than it got power because the compression that the turbo is giving to the engine is bigger.

You can typically find more torque on turbocharged engines with high boost or in large engines with low RPM limiter (like the 5.7L Dodge Challenger with 375 hp /410 lb-ft of torque an a 5600 rpm rev limiter)

p.s. I think the others already bashed you enough saying that torque and power are two completely different things ,right
