I was dealing with the 5.7 diesels back when they were still under warrenty. DO NOT EVER PUT ANY BOOST TO A 5.7 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!! The only place a 5.7 Olds diesel should ever be is at the end of a chain under a boat. Funny thing, I was pulling the 5.7 out of trucks, Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles, and Buicks to convert them to gas engines (worked at a place that did smog legal gas conversion), we sold the running (some broken ones too) to a New Zealander who was using them for agraculture water pumps. When run at a steady RPM the olds diesel would live forever.
