I've been toying with the same idea for my '84 diesel, but am unsure if making the head breathe that hard is a good idea.
The D24T is lower compression than the D24.
I'm guessing that one would want to set it with an intentional lag on the boost, and limit the boost.
Finding out what safe maximum combustion temps are for this engine and installing a pyrometer in the exhaust would help you keep from melting the exhaust valve out of it( you would probably need to keep a good eye on that gauge on long hills to keep out of trouble).

If you want just a little extra kick the free-flow air filters work very nicely on diesels.
I put the Amsoil air filter on and got a nice increase in pickup( and yes , I'm an Amsoil dealer.....shameless plug), I imagine the K& N's would feel great as well( although they do let more dirt in).
Advancing timing a bit helps too.
