One very informative paper I keep referencing is
http://aerade.cranfield.ac.uk/ara/1937/naca-tn-619.pdf
in figure 8 they show power output with boost pressure for fixed fuel increments per cycle.
In figure 10 they show what a restriction of air intake does to performance.

I like old engineering but I think that referencing a 1937 paper as indicative of how a current diesel behaves is stretching things a bit. What engine speed was used? What compression ratio? How well was the fuel atomised?
