Yea, I am not expecting to much. Just a little gas mileage difference. Diesel prices are a killer around my area!

diesel engines do not use blow off valves. they have no throttle plate that closes when you let off the throttle, therefore, the pressurized air between the turbo and plate does not need to be let out like on a gasser. usually, the engine accepts the air even though it slows in speed, and what doesnt go through the engine goes in reverse back past the turbo (and out the filter.
