Quick and simple question - WAI for a Diesel - good idea or not ? I've seen a few posts that suggest WAIs for diesels are either a good idea and to be encouraged, or a bad idea that will cause really poor FE.

Examples include :

this from ConnClark where he suggests WAI for Diesels is not good

and

this where Piwoslaw is thinking of bypassing his intercooller.

What is the truth, anyone know before I block my grill ?

Apologies if I am missing something fundamental, it wouldn't be the first time.
