From established literature the CRDs seem to run a lot hotter than the earlier DI's or TD42's. I regularly saw mine go above 600 when going up hills and if pushed would go past 700 (that was on the stock tune). Given that my probe was post turbo I shudder to think what cylinder temps would be if kept at that engine load for an extended period of time.
The CRD doesn't really run hotter than a DI, they can however handle a higher EGT. Where is this established literature?
You will need to change turbos. At 16psi the stock turbo is putting more energy into heating the air than compressing it.
Sorry mate, don't agree with this, my DI with stock turbo pulled good HP and did it without issues, CRD can do and does just as good. I know one that was pulling 190rwhp and 600nm torque with a std turbo.

Wrong engine. The stock turbo on a TD42 should not be used above about 12psi. ZD30s are another matter.
OK, from the below post I thought we were talking about a crd!
