What you are describing is a motor without head or cam work as once they are added to the mix more power is achievable even with a 1756
Yes, I am talking about a stock
PD motor with PD150 injectors. No one said anything about ported head or cams.
.....also if 215 is the max there must be a lot of dyno's in the UK and Europe that are let's say wrong?
I'm talking about the maximum fuel PD150 injectors can reliably and safely deliver, not the maximum you can get out of the engine.
Add a race cam, you can get another 10 or so bhp out of the injectors. Sure, you can get more fuel without cams if you have >40° of injection, but that's not good for the engine.
Also, to cleanly burn 215bhp, you'd need ~1.8bar at 4000 RPM, which is pretty much the limit of a hybrid turbo.
In order to make more power than a reliable ~215bhp on a PD engine you need:
(a) Larger injectors / nozzles such as R783s (or a race cam...)
and
(b) Something bigger than a VNT17 hybrid.
Finally, I don't know how much more restrictive the VE heads are compared to the PD heads. Maybe porting would help a bit on the rotary heads, but the hybrid would still "only" flow around 1.8 bar safely. To burn more than 215bhp on a VE, you'd still need something bigger than a hybrid.

This was (248bhp) the power allegedly put out by a hybrid on a PD150 with stock injectors on AMD's rollers.
There was also a PD130/150 knocking about, running stock injectors and some "top secret" turbo that was allegedly putting out 250bhp...again on AMD's rollers (notice a pattern here)
Yet, the most a hybrid based PD130 put out at last year's RR day was Stu Fenwick's Golf running about 212bhp IIRC...
The only cars that were more powerful had R783s and 2260VKs.
