also i think one thing everyone will agree with is get a egt gauge before you start, find out what your normal operating numbers are so you have something to reference once you do go turbo
Diesels are designed to run very lean mixtures ( 33 to 1 or better ) and boost is fuel dependent. As long as the fire isn't there, it won't run away boost pressure wise. The more available boost pressure, the better; keeps the egt's down.
