I just got a set of Monarks for my '99 turbodiesel. Oddly though they were marked ECS or something but they came from Germany by a seller who claimed they were Monarks. Tomorrow I will find out how they perform after they get installed, along with new seals.
The reason for changin is because I have nailing after a recent valve job and its my hope that the nozzles are the cause. Performance is fine but the nailing I can't stand.

Under boost is where I was having the most problems. Soon as the turbo would spool up and a heavy load, BIG smoke. Leaning the ALDA has put an end to that, with no affect to drivability or power.
Around town, most of our speed limits are 30 or 35. No boost there since the engine is usually running around 1500 RPM or less. Overfuelling under boost would explain why the in-town mileage was ok, but the highway mileage was utter crap.
I went to Monark nozzles after being disappointed with the random failings of the Bosch India nozzles I had. You won't be disappointed. All things being equal, the engine seems much more lively with the Monark nozzles installed.
