Turbodiesel engines run with an excess of air already. I.e. the stock intake and exhaust systems run more air through the engine than it can use---power is determined solely by the amount of fuel injected. It's not like a gas car where you can open up the intake, slap on a less restrictive exhaust, and thereby gain a few horsepower while keeping the air/fuel mixture constant. From a gas engine point of view, diesels already run lean---so more air does nothing.
