I have a diesel turbo, but when i drive just under the turbo spoolup rpm is use about 0.5L/100km less then when my turbo spools up. The turbo spoolup is just above 1800rmp and max torque is at 1900rpm. But my engine is from around the year 2000. One of the first electronicly controled turbo dieseld. My mate has a 2007 saab 93 1.9 turbodiesel 6speed. In gear 6 at 120kmh it uses more then 130kmh is 6. This is because the turbo spools up at 125. So i think you can say that newer diesels need their turbos, and the old could do without.
