ssreese if you need some info on 2-stroke detroits there's a shop in lakewood,new jersey called jersey shore diesel(732-961-1880) They do marine diesel & some heavy duty trucks.most of there marine work is on 2-stroke detroits it's there specialty.They also have have detroit parts in stock.

I think his main concern was the carbon build up
The lower exhaust temp & slower turbo speed allows carbon to build up.I used to do marine diesel engine repair and one boat i use to work on had that problem.The boat used to have four 700hp 8v92's but they replaced them with four 800hp Duetz...
Thermal loading is not the issue in this case but
Any time you lower heat/thermal load you lower wear/maintence & increase reliablity.
even at 20% load the turbo motor has higher thermal load compared to the na motor
you'll be fine & probably better off with 17:1.just use injectors and injector height setting for the na motor.you'll use less fuel & lower the thermal & mechanical load on the engine without the turbo.you'll also increase reliability/lower maintence.The na motor is alot more reliable.I love...
