it would be super awesome if a guy could run the thing without having to make any mods to the fuel system but I definitely don't want to damage the engine.
definately put a pyro on it pre turbo.

you dont need to adjust the fuel when you turbo it. i havent, a little less fuel in a turbo-d diesel just means lower temps. opposite of gas motors. later if you want to get more power out of it, you can adjust a screw on the IP which will add more fuel and up EGT's. you can bring add fuel/power till the temps are close to too hot.

Realistically you dont have to worry about the fuel part of it when you are doing a turbo, only for tuning which can be done any time later down the road.
