Burn less fuel, no turbos, no inter/aftercooler to clean, and the engine overhaul will probably outlast you.
Other than that situation I havent seem guys want to slow down.

Not true. A turbo can be more efficient and last a long time if run easy. Maintenance is not that bad on them in comparison with other brands. It's always nice to have the extra hp even if you don't regularly use it.

What rpm would be considered running easy?
At what rpm does the turbo kick in?
If I were to run below turbo rpm always, would that increase the time between overhauls? In other words, it would be like running an N engine?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Low rpm operation has been discussed in the past here. See posts by Brian Degulias (SP) and others. I do it routinely with just occasional higher rpm to burn off accumulated oil/carbon. I do add a cetane boost to the fuel and use 170 degree thermostats. 6V92TA, 425 hp.
