Not really as yours is a JTD.
On older non ECU governed engines you were able to tweek diesel engines by doing 2 main things which need doing in balance and at low levels to maintain reliability and safe running temps and pressures.
1 increasing the wastegate blow off pressure. Usually by shortening the wastegate arm on the turbo. This will allow the turbo to boost higher before blowing off pressure.
2 increasing the mechanical diesel pump by increasing the fuel flow.
Because you have a JTD, the engine is sensored and electronically governed therefore to tune, it needs to be done electronically. Ideally a remap
