Well you need a turbo. Wind it up, and you are
all good.
There is an option. Wind up the fuel pump,
install the turbo {ooch Athol will hate me}
It will work, and actually be very fuel
efficient.
Your diesel has a per volume per stroke injection
volume. You don't have the O2 to burn it, it
aint gunna happen, makes for some smoke.
I've asked you again - get a turbo installation.
