Torque wars continue in the diesels

........so isn't it likely that "torque management" refers to cutting fuel during shift points to protect the clutches in the transmission?

Torque management is also cutting fuel, boost, and timing in lower gears and rpms to keep cylinder pressure(aka torque) in check so you don't blow head gaskets. It will also defuel if your EGT's get too high. If you have ever tuned a diesel with EFILive and saw the tables then you would understand.

Maybe the video below might help explain things a little better than I. Note that it is a tuned engine so the torque management is altered and the percentages would be less in more gears in stock form. An tuned diesel with head studs and a built trans can run with torque management off or lowered.
