Re: turbo project - diesel escort
DON'T GO REMOTE TURBO. do whatever you can to keep it right after the header. specially in a diesel where cold air isn't nearly as important and can actually help performance if you can keep your egt's (exhaust gas temps) low enough.
so, I'd get a turbocharger that could get you to 15-20psi (since this is a fun car and not a daily driver you don't need to keep it reliable) and that should run ok with your high compression. you're going to need to get alot more fuel into the engine. stock it probably runs extremely lean so you could run a crap load more fuel with boost.
I'm sure someone could help you with what turbocharger to buy, I'm not really the guy to ask about that. one thing you need to do is get a pyrometer to measure egt's. this is crucial to keep your engine running. if it gets too hot, get off the gas immediately, it'll burn up your turbo and valves. another thing i'd do is run straight pipes after your turbo, you don't need mufflers or any of the emissions crap that might be on there, it'll just lag up your turbo and rob power.
