what im tring to say is
(sorry for the hijack)
ok lets say a diesil gets full boost from the turbo at 2k rpms
and most turbo gas engines get there full boost around 4-5k rpm
i know displacement plays apart in it to so for this case lets say the engines are the same displacement
if you put a diesil turbo on a gas engine will it acheve full boost earlyer
or is the whole reason the diesils achive such full bost at low rpm because of the fuel
i know diesil packs more of a punch then gas so i could understand why the diesil gets full boost earlyer




I'm no expert, but i'd think that a Diesel is able to spool a turbo with fewer revs, is due to it's compression. With Diesels at 20:1 or so, there would be more exhaust force for each exhaust stroke.

Someone correct me pls if i'm off here.
