. . . . jumping to conclusions, huh?

There is no mystery as to how a turbo works, or the reason why a turbo engine needs an intercooler. Please don't pretend there is some complex, higher order thinking that needs to be done to understand diesels (or a turbo diesel for that matter). . . .

The picture is unclear, there is no mention of a turbo. . . . . .the power figures suck, so maybe it's a non-turbo diesel. . . . .that's it.
