Which outcome occurs when excessive exhaust backpressure develops in a turbocharged diesel engine?

A)Increased cylinder head temperatures
B)Decreased fuel injector nozzle clogging
C)Increased mass air flow sensor readings
D)Decreased turbocharger compressor surge

💡 Explanation

When exhaust backpressure is excessive, reduced scavenging occurs because less exhaust is expelled, increasing residual heat in the cylinder which increases cylinder head temperatures beyond design limits. Therefore increased cylinder head temperatures result, rather than decreased nozzle clogging, increased air flow readings, or decreased compressor surge which rely on different mechanisms.
