not really...... but bear with me here.
When in your post does it change from turbo diesel to normal gas?
also, You gave no mention of what size you went with in either example. so we cant know what really helps.
Given your background I was looking for more factual information.
DO your 'examples' run contrary to the chart that was posted?

Sorry....more questions than answers.

you said "Reducing the backpressure will improve fuel economy significantly while accelerating."
That is a pretty broad statement. But I can guess that it means the 0 to XX acceleration.
Not the steady cruise.
And that is important. Much like WOT which occures MAYBE 7-10% of the time, how often are we really 'accelerating'?
