Been there, done that. My brother bought a very clean '81 300D with a blown engine for cheap. We put in a 617 from an'80 SD. I have (and have had) plenty of 5 cyl turbos, and want to do something new and different. I have heard of others putting a turbo "kit" on their 240, but that is not the best way to do it. Building the engine so it will last is what I am after. I am not planning to enter or win any races either. I have driven a 240, and a 190D (about the same power), and a turbo'd engine would give the car that extra pep it needs, and still get great fuel mileage.
