Well it will, really..the Bosch VE pump has enough capacity for over 100 hp..HOWEVER The turbo pump has a tower that acts as some sort of vacumm advance/increases fuel pressures under load as necessary. >> RIGHT! It's called and aneroid and it effectively move the maximum fuel stop in the pump based on the pressure against it...Some NA diesels have them as an altitude compensator..as you go up? the fuel stop moves to a lower setting I believe that the ECO-Diesel had them and they were not hooked to the manifold WITHOUT this item, if you se the pump to deliver the fuel for your maximum power, it will be over-fueled until the turbo spools up...big black cloud as you pull away from the light..(which sticks rings and the like)
