Unlike with petrol engine where adding more fuel cools down exhaust gas temperatures, adding excess diesel has the opposite effect and this is why you do not want to use a chip that causes excess black smoke. If exhaust gas temperatures go too high you can damage your cylinder head, your valves and possibly even your turbo. While you do not need to worry about detonation with a diesel engine, you do need to worry about exhaust gas temperatures. Diesel chip tuning is quite a simple process, especially in comparison to petrol chip tuning but that does not mean diesel engines are indestructible.
