Intercoolers???
Temp post intercooler is typically higher than non-boosted air temp.
Intercoolers???
Redneck in training; you can stuff more air (oxygen molecules) in the combustion chamber said:I used to work in a shop with a wise old & well respected diesel mechanic that was fond of saying "a diesel engine's life is rated in gallons - you can put in a lot more fuel but not for very long.' This was his disclaimer to truckers/operators that wanted the power turned up. MikeD74T
In the army used to repair S/B Gen. Had one return with faulty gen and removed to repair.
The engine was in frame and govenor control rod removed air cleaner off and engine was started to check operation. no load on flywheel and govenor set for full rpm increase immediate to over speed. a boot was set on air intake to stall engine and sucked into the manifold. which had to be removed to clean out. Understand diesel has no vacuum but the
AP in this case was very impressive.
Don't place hand over intake to test.

"Drastic differences" aside, there's a knob called 'mixture' next to the throttle. Drastic is covered in 'Emergency Procedures'. Get a grip, ...how's it go? ...aviate,navigate,...something else...
When I started this post I thought I was asking a fairly simple question expecting a fairly simple answer. Boy was I wrong. As far as I am concerned a diesel does produce vacuum but does not store it.
