Usually true. But adding boost to a diesel will not necessarily increase efficiency either if it isn't too rich without boost in the first place. It will not necessarily increase power either, unless you fuel it more. I've seen it a million times on the dyno - putting vice-grips on the wastegate line to increase "power" (as if boost is an indication of power) only to see power actually drop slightly.
