On a TD42 Nissan diesel, does the valve clearane need to be altered with the addition of an after market turbo?

.35 mm, hot, not running.
Wouldn't have thought their would be a need to change.

I was just wondering how many engines need to be running to set the valve clearances?

He is probably the only person in the workshop that has to check them running! I bet the tradesmen have a good laugh when they watch him try to adjust them!!!
