I've found a little bit of technical related information regarding adding turbo's to the OM616

Once and for all the answer to the did AMG do diesels for the w123 - Mercedes-Benz Forum

Turbo Systems

I found an installation guide that (although isn't hyper specific to the OM616 it is for the OM602) lists what a STT thinks you should do with their kit (!)

If anyone wants to see the changes Mercedes thought were necessary to the OM617 for turbo charging they wrote an SAE technical paper on the subject. It is actually quite a good geeky read!
