Forget 'backpressure' being necessary/relevant on a turbo diesel, it's not.
i recently enquired beau exhaust for inch system but this is what i got back.
We make a 2 3/4” mandrel bent system with hi-flow converter and dump pipe to suit your 2.5ltr D40 Factory Turbo Navara. We require the build date and series of the Navara.If you increase the tube size above 2 3/4" on this particular there isn't enough back pressure and the turbo spools too fast. This can lead to turbo spiking.Our systems are designed to fit the standard vehicle and any after market modifications you have may impede on the fitment of our system. Please ask if you have any concerns.Upon purchasing please advise us as to whether your vehicle is an automatic or manual and if automatic please advise if your vehicle is fitted with a DPF (diesel particle filter).
I don't understand that.
What spins a turbo isn't the pressure anyway - it's the flow rate. They reduce the opening at the turbine interface to improve the flow velocity at that point - which spins the turbine faster - but beyond that point (the dump pipe onwards) the work has been. done, it's all over, get rid of that exhaust gas as fast as you can.

not quite.
back pressure, gas velocity and flow rate are all related.
afaik principally its gas velocity. reduce the opening to increase velocity but that increases the back pressure on the motor which is not good (unless you want that for egr purposes which is the main reason for variable turbo's).
one of the problems of a vac controlled turbo is its ability to control the vanes is not great compared to the stepper motor controls turbo's.
the turbo can over boost before the control system can react.
you may even find that the ecu trims fuel if the turbo spins up to quick. which could be why some find loss of power with big exhausts.
Anyone care to show me where the 'bagging' was done?
Asking or even demanding these results shouldn't have to be done by me or any other tuner to be honest. It should be done by the people who own the vehicles.
If they tuned the chips on these cars as they claimed, surely they would have done some kind of testing to prove that it was safe?
Even further, if anyone is near brisbane with any brand of chip, bring it to me and ill run it on the dyno for free for you and post the results up.
@ Dion, both systems were Mandrell and identical in layout, only difference being the size of the pipe and inlet and outlet of the cat and muffler.
