Turbo Diesel Performance At Heath Diesel Power our goal is to deliver the most cost-effective towing-performance components and packages possible. Over the years, in our shop operation, we have focused on modifications which provide our customers the highest practical output obtainable with the factory or near factory engine combination. The most important performance characteristic, for them, had to be strong uphill towingpower/speed while maintaining engine operation within the EGT limit. This quest for maximum practical output ultimately lead to the development of our Turbo-Master boost controls and to these component and package offerings.

Heath Diesel Power History We started business in ’84 as an extension of our hobby, which is drag racing. Located here in central Washington, we are surrounded by steep grades so anytime we went racing, we were having to tow up hill. When we started using the 6.2 GM diesel in the early 80′s our uphill speed was slowed considerably as compared to the 454 we had been running. Before long, however, we were finding ways to increase pulling power in the 6.2 and soon we were able to lead the pack uphill and without having to stop at every gas station along the way! Our ability to develop strong uphill towing power created a bit of notoriety among fellow racers and the word spread to others who tow. Soon we found ourselves in business outfitting trucks with turbochargers and other performance modifications. We did quite a few turbo set-ups and many with water / mist injection for intercooling.
