Whatever you do to the stock pump (short of swaping a bigger head) the nozzles will only flow so much once they reach max flow. I find it hard to believe stock nozzles could make 50% more power when "tuned" on the stock configuration. And even if the nozzles can flow that much fuel, I have never seen a setup where the stock turbo can safely push enough air to adequately sustain a 50% power increase. The turbo would be really oversized for the stock application if that was the case. When you floor it it must smoke like a freight train and EGT must reach critical levels pretty quickly. If not, well that truck was really an overly engineered machine in its stock form.

What turbo is in there anyway and what pressure are you pushing it at?

Plus, do you know anything about diesels?
My first car was a 1990 VW Golf N/A diesel. I have owned 3 other VW diesels since then. All I ever owned was diesel vehicles. It doesn't mean I know anything, but I think I know a thing or two.
