-the newer ones run between 1200-1600 bar fuel pressure
-Diesel=efficient
-Stock head-gaskets can handle infinite boost

The Banks Sidewinder that set the land speed record for a diesel truck was running a factory block and bottom end. They essentially modified the head, intake, turbo, exhaust, tuning, injectors, etc etc... but the stock bottom end was holding the 750HP and 1500 lb*ft of torque they were throwing down.
Oh yeah, and it was still emissions legal in California.
