So you've got an M/RSF pump at the moment?

If so that's the more modern one.

If you look at the numbers in the FSM survey chapter 07-001 the MW pump seems to be very close to the turbo MW pump. The governor numbers are close too.

Differences in the operation between the RSF and RW governors are covered in chapter 07-010 => don't ask me what they are, I keep on falling asleep when I try and read that section! I'll try and stay awake and work it all out sometime...

This could be a terminology problem but I thought that the superturbodiesel.com guys prefer the rarer (in the US) M/RSF pump because that one is more tunable than the MW pump - they seem to be banging on about the M pump and I assume they mean that one (rather than the 4 pot pigs bladder one for the OM615).

I'm really just starting out learning about the IP - I thought I'd start by pulling that spare IP to bits so I could see how it works; but I've been busy with other stuff for months and months and months...
