The reason for no aneroid was POLLUTION control. The turbo adds enough
air at all speeds to burn all the diesel fuel and thus no black smoke.
This engine was sold as an Eco-diesel, sacrificing power for cleaner
exhaust. The turbo maintains power at higher elevations without the
clouds of smoke that diesels can bellow otherwise.

Lots of people have put these in Vanagons, many change to the boost
aneroid pumps for more power.
