if the turbo makes the engine rock, if the intercooler keeps the egts down then life is good, now throw some propane into the old girl and hold on.

me, i pay people to design the turbo, i pay to have the proper intercooler designed and it works. if it is ourside peak efficency, tough ****. the truck rocks, the fuel economy is way better than expected and the EGTs are well within the safety zone.

if you are happy the, in the end, that is all that really matters. after all we are working with old diesels not friggin race engines that we are trying to squeeze every last ounce of power out of.
If everyone thought like that, we'd still be living in caves.
Understanding is the key to success. Without it you're just wasting good time and money.
