He was giving you a line of BS, so that is why I, and others gave you more BS.
I figured he either blew out the turbo sense line or changed the fuel
filter. If he had changed the liter, I figured he would have charged
you for a filter. Since he didn't, I figured he blew out the sense
line.
I located him through the local referral groups. Has the highest user
ratings for getting the job done right, honesty, and fair pricing. Plus,
he's smart, sardonic, and entertaining enough to make me forgive his jibes
and jests.
Most importantly, he has been a 123 diesel owner and mechanic since day 1
and knows what it takes to keep them on the road.

I think he was the one pulling your leg. "Hop up mill"? Was this guy
a time-traveler from the '50s? That's not even accurate use of
hot-rod slang--he didn't hop up the mill, just tuned it.
Unless he does such good work that you can overlook it, I'd say to
find yourself a new mechanic. One that writes down exactly what he
did on the invoice, if for no other reason that in future when the car
exhibits the same symptoms you can refer back to it for clues or to
rule out something that's already been fixed.
