Diesel mods and testing
One of my favorite auto writers has a multipart series about tuning up a turbo diesel:
Powering-Up the 1.9 liter TDI, Part 1
Powering-Up the 1.9 liter TDI, Part 2
Spoiler alert:
Increasing the air intake charge of a diesel engine, unlike a gas engine, does not increase the power. In fact, it increases the overhead as more work has to be done compressing the larger mass of air.
