Don't forget that you need to create an air line from the intake to you IP aneroid to get the fueling compensation.
I have a basically stock 92' TD with a PP 2.5" downpipe and 2.25" exhaust with the k24 turbo. I have very little lag. It is making 2psi by 2000 rpm (holding rpm steady on a flat). The K24 will make 5psi almost instantly when I squash the "go-pedal" and builds to where my stock wastegate opens at around 11psi. In the current tune it makes no appreciable smoke
"Burn" I think you will be thrilled with the k24 you have when you open up the exhaust.
