Mooleycow. I don't think I would be taking advise from someone who says thier turbo dosen't work . Also if he thinks the turbo isn't needed than he should try comparing a 7.3l from 91 ford to a 7.3l in 99 ford. I have owed both and have realized way more power and MPG. I have even started planing on a twin turbo design for more boost. on the single I'm at 26psi, and it's still not enough to clean up all the fuel i'm putting to it.

If any of you guys on colder climates are having issues getting good off road diesel for your equipment, (no nasty additives), might I suggest you go to your local airport and buy JetA.  Jet A is the same thing as #1 diesel, only the packaging/handling and QC determines what the end product is called or labeled. 

Jet A is very dry, has a high naptha content, and will shortly waste injectors and pumps on diesels. I once had to use Jet A, pumped out of the bowser into the truck tank so I could make it to the next fuel stop. I added a can of motor oil for insurance.

I put in a Kabuta 4 cylinder diesel in my Wrangler and it works great.
I put a Yanmar diesel in my other Wrangler and it does great.
I put a Cummins 4bt in a rock crawler Wrangler and it works great.

Drove a VW rabit diesel pickup for years she was kinda wore out loaded tandem tractor trailers would pass me climbing the grades.That rascal could spot a hill before I could,but I got about 50 mpg.Real cold weather I would add a gallon of gasoline to a full tank of diesel,give it some teeth to start.
