After the Banjo Bolt is Cleaned check the Boost Pressure you are getting.

You man Need to adjust the Tension on your Waste Gate Spring to bring the Boost Pressure up if you are not making good pressure.

I have been wondering if You are also having Fuel Supply issues due to an old Fuel Supply/Lift Pump, Fuel Pressure Relief/Over Flow Valve, Fuel Tank Vent issues.
If you can scrounge up the 5mm O-ring Fastlane used to sell a Valve Kit for the Fuel Supply Pump. But, that kit lacks the little O-ring.
Info in the DIY section.

ForceInduction lives somewhere in that State. He is the Moderator over on the Diesel Discussions - Mercedes Forum - Mercedes Benz Enthusiast Forums Forum if you need answers to some specific questions.

i also had doubts about the fuel delivery, was going to start at the tank and work my way forward.

as for boost pressure. waiting on some funds but was going to get gauges for boost and oil pressure water temp and egt gauge, wanting to start messing with settings but was holding of till i had the proper gauges. ( is there any other necessary gauges for increasing boost and fuel )

You should already have gauges for oil pressure and water temperature. Boost and EGT gauges are good to have when you start messing with boost settings.

Atmospheric pressure at your altitude is about 10.9 psi. This means you can up your boost 3.8 psi from stock and have the engine internals stressed as though they were operating normally at sea level. However, you may overspeed the turbo in the process.
