The major advantage of increasing the holes in the nozzles is that we can bring in more diesel at the same time, so that we can not burn far down in the cylinder which increases the exhaust temperature drastically and melt down the engine. ...
Why would you want to melt down the engine?
(I don't understand what they are trying to say.)
Bottom line: The injectors cannot deliver more fuel than the injection pump pumps. Stock injectors are adequate for stock fuel levels and making them bigger won't, by itself, change anything.

OK, maybe they are trying to say that the bigger holes allow more fuel to be delivered faster. This is true, but, still, if you don't increase the pump output, there isn't more fuel to deliver. Also, higher flow injectors are less efficient at atomizing the fuel when the flows are more in the normal range.
