I have seen an advert by a diesel service centre for a boost compensator " which controls your fuel according to boost pressure " & offers smoother running, better ecenomy,power,driveability,longer engine life,controlled smoke emissions.
Seems to me the mechanical injection systen does not have the ability to change the mixture like an EFI system so the Q is does anyone have any experience of these.
Thanks a lot......IAN

I believe what you have described is a 'ANEROID'.
If so, they fit on top of rotary diesel pumps and in Australia are used in conjunction with Turbo Chargers to control the boost/fuel ratio.
I had an after market Turbo fitted to a 1HZ about 2-3 years ago and an ANEROID or BOOST COMPENSATOR was part of the deal.
The Toyota Factory fitted turbos come standard with the subject apparatus which is also known as a 'altitude compensation device'.
There is a lot more to the 'doctorine of turbo charging diesels' other than ANEROIDS, so other than saying that it does what it supposed to and I am more than happy with it, I'll leave it at that or to the other experts on this
forum.

I think there is actually 2 different parts fitted to the top of toyota injection pumps that appear to be the same but have different functions
Factory Turbo engines have a Boost Compensator that increases fuel at high boost
Late model non Turbo Engines have a High Altitude Compensator that decreases Fuel at High Altitudes to stop overfueling & Oil thickening
Both parts look the samee but have a different function
I could be wrong but this is my understanding

Ok Comparing the 2.5td with the 2.6 petrol Paj from all reports they do about 21mpg highway (about 7km/l). The same motor in a Manual Sigma which is much lighter than a Commodore from my own experience has trouble doing over 30m,pg nowhere near the later larger Commodore but few older 2litre petrols seem to do much better except for some Euros.
