Have you read the specs for your car? You are working with a third of the horsepower of many small modern ricers. Even with the gobs of diesel torque, you can't wish reality to go away.
Even if you bolt a low-pressure turbo onto an OM616, I very much doubt it will make much difference off the line. A 300sd with a five-cylinder turbodiesel isn't as quick as a modern car, with sophisticated computer engine controls, off the line.
A 300sdl or w124 300d with a six-cylinder turbodiesel with electronic engine controls, probably is.
You a driving a car with a normally aspirated diesel engine that is designed based on the state of the technological art in the late 1950s.
I understand what you want but you can't make melons out of oranges. If you have the wherewithal I suggest you keep the 240d as your 'special' car and look for a used VW Tdi as a daily driver.
