Air is not a limiting factor in a diesel engine as it is in a gas engine. A gas engine balances air that is throttled in with gas and then is ignited by spark. Conversely, a diesel engine’s air enters unthrottled and power is determined by the amount of fuel that 1) enters the combustion chamber and 2) combusts under pressure. Therefore, any product that increases airflow to a diesel is a waste of money.
