In my diesel I start to feel the turbo in the 2100-2400 rpm range, but I hardly ever get into that range (never when ecodriving). I doubt whether the turbo helps in the 1400-1800 rpm range?

Hmm, maybe it's about time I unblocked it first? Then I'll see if it needs cleaning. If only I could find the time to make a temperature-controled grill block, then I wouldn't be worried about how much to (un)block depending on the weather.
