I found this link to Road and Track magazine where they talk about the C111
http://www.roadandtrack.com/RoadAndTrack/Article/jan2001/0101_salon_mbc111_pg3.html
They mention "tuning" the 3.0 liter turbodiesel to 190 and then 320 hp!!

Just wondering how they did it? Any thoughts?

More Fuel and Boost

They probably had injectors which could deliver more fuel and added a higher capacity turbo for more boost. I have read that the Garett/Air Research turbo on the 617.952 engines is capable of 30psi. I'll bet it had an intercooler to cool the charged air. Although the intercooler won't add power, I'm sure it helped to keep the egt's at acceptable levels.
