Brian, on the subject of boost levels, I haven't seen any talk of the Dawes device in quite a while. You have any thoughts on the Dawes or anything else like it?
Haven't touched the ALDA in years. Not sure where it's at, adjustment wise. Even if it's maxed out, increasing boost shouldn't really hurt, right? Or would it cause a lean condition? (if the ALDA is left at its current proper setting)

The Dawes controller makes it a simple matter to adjust the boost. The conventional method is not difficult either, if the turbo is off the engine. The problem is that you're adjusting it blind............you cannot measure your result until it's reinstalled.
If the ALDA is maxed out, increasing boost results in increased charge temperatures to no benefit.
There is no such thing as a "lean condition" when diesels are discussed.
