I'm curious as to why you opted for an Eco-Diesel injection pump. I'm under the impression the Eco-Diesel injection pumps do not have a provision for fuel enrichment under boost, so your "turbo-diesel" is essentially an NA diesel with a fancy airpump tacked onto the intake and exhaust manifolds. Good for reducing emissions, but does nothing to enhance powah...needs more fuel to do that. Or, maybe that's what you wanted. I owned an NA diesel Vanagon a while back, so that wouldn't be my first choice.
