Intakes on diesels might not be of benefit. They have no throttles. They just put more fuel in when you push the gas. Around 70% of stoiciometric is all the fuel that is injected into the cylinder, because diesel burns "locally rich," so they are overall lean all the time. Extra air would just create more pumping losses. The best thing to do to a diesel is nitro(oxygen)/methane(fuel) injection and computer reprogram. That will yeild a TON of horsepower.
