I would look carefully to see where the sensor is located for the pyrometer
The exhaust limit on a turbo diesel depends on where the sensor for the
pyrometer is located. If it is mounted before the turbo the limit is 1200
F...if after the turbo the limit is 900 F. In order to put a tubo on any
engine it requires a different camshaft as turbo engines have both the
exhaust and the intake valve open at the same time so cool air scavenges
all burned gases from the cylinder. If it was built as a normally aspirated
engine I would live with it. You may have to change pistons as well.
also has anyone ever put
