It is a problem of kinetic type.
The diesel ? slow to burn. By injecting up to 10 degrees (approximately, varies from motor to motor) does not have the time to burn during the phase of the useful and ends to get to the exhaust manifold and the snail of the turbine during the combustion phase. There? causes an increase of EGT and particulate matter.
The phenomenon is reduced by using large excesses of air, of course. With low-pressure turbo-high, often this limit is a little less.
The camshafts increase the volumetric efficiency, as a result ? as if you're using pressure turbo more? high (not ? just cos? but you get the idea)
