Too get into it a little more, when you turn up the fuel, you turn it up throughout the whole throttle range, the advance cam in the pump will meter out a little of that extra fuel at partial/ no throttle. But a diesel doesn't work like a gas motor. It takes in as much air as it wants/needs(boost adds air), it is the fuel intake that varies the rpms, the less fuel, less rpms and less power. More fuel is more power and rpms, too much fuel will be unburnt but cause high temps(monitor egts)A gas motor needs a specific amount of air and fuel to increase rpm and power, too much of one or another alters a lot plus gas motors are a lot more picky with timing, a diesel is pretty much set once, adding a turbo should not have any affect on timing advance/retardAt any time you do any fuel or air intake work, an egt gauge is a must. Shoot for 900 degrees max on longer durations(say 10 min pulling uphill) I would say 1200 absolute max for less then 2 minutesHopefully helps a littleSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i guess i should back up and ask if the turbo on a diesel is making boost all the time since fuel input/throttle position is what seems to determine rpm----but not always---as in the going downhill case?
